I guess your first question would be, “How was it?” Well, the answer would depend quite a bit on when you asked it.

Long-term illness. It won’t happen to me. Seasonal colds. Sure. Occasional headaches? That’s fine. Even a 2-3 week infection is not a problem.

It’s not like I am fighting a deadly disease, so I really have no excuse to still be sick!”

Well, Saturday the 12th, I was able to run the NY Mini 10K. I’m not quite sure what the name of the race means, but it isn’t a miniature 10K race, it was the full 6.2 miles. I counted.
