Health concerns again take precedence over training

Dear James, Daniel and Emily,

Odd occurrence, Monday I was fine all day, felt great, if a little sore from all the running around Sunday. Then Monday night I started getting some stomach pains, then felt feverish and chills. Ended up feeling feverish and horrible all night, kept waking up, going to pee, then trying to get comfortable with the pain in my stomach. Needless to say I did not run Tuesday morning, and stayed home from work. Spent the day laying on the couch, dozing off and on. Had some odd cramps in one of my feet that took pretty much all day to work out.

Limited myself to bread, Gatorade and water all day. My fever broke relatively early in the day. But the stomach pain didn't really die down until nearly bed time. I was able to sleep good, but chose not to try and do any training today either. I came to work, despite still not feeling great. Partially because I owed my co-workers, but also because with the kids home for Spring Break I would get more rest at work then staying home watching them.

Hope that I feel well enough tomorrow to run, but that really depends on how the rest of the day goes and how I sleep tonight. I would hate to have too much of a break with the training routine, but have to listen to my body too, it's a delicate balance.
