Running is probably going to have to take a hiatus as my doctor is coing GW on whatever infection is tainting my body. I am taking an antibiotics in pill form large enough to traquilize an large show-hog. What started as a minor virus has, in 3 weeks time, become a secondary infection from hell. Running has been interrupted by wheezing and stopping to hack up particulate pollution that has no place in the lungs of a healthy, non-smoking young man. My doctor has quite unprofessionally perscribed me medication while I am out of state. This is only because my mother and sister are at home getting blood work done and x-rays of their lungs taken. Oh and I also race in about 48 hours.

I have to say that I am a bit more than reluctant to attempt to race after taking more than a week off to try and kick this. Racing is hard and uncomfortable and I can't say that I am completely ready for it. That said, my very low tier cross-country team is in a bit of a bind. We have to finish 5 runners in this first race or there is going to be issue with our eligibility to compete the rest of the season. As it is now, there are 2 guys on the team that will probably break 28 saturday, 3 sophomores with short, albeit injury plagued histories who are wild cards to finish, a random walk-on since monday and me. I'd say we are at about 7o% to finish all seven, 85% to finish six, and 95% to finish five.
