So right when I thought the spring was here..... I decided to get sick. I sort of have a pattern of getting sick during climate's transition period ... usually winter to spring Or summer to winter.. Last year however, I had a sense of strong immune system primarily of my healthy diet and the exercising regime.. thanks to all the half and full marathons.

Well I have been sick for past couple of days now. Since Saturday to be exact. Sunday morning got up with 101 temperature, in the afternoon the temperature sky rocketed to 103.. and then in the evening 102.5. Today I feel lot better. My throat does not hurt as much and I have an appetite to eat. However, not having eaten properly for last 5 days I really feel weak so I have been resting. No work for last 3 days. Gargling and drinking lots of fluid with a hope of quick recovery!!! :)

All this is telling me to register for a run... This summer, I am not sure if I am going to do a Full marathon but definitely going for a half one... I wanted to do a triathlon but since it is only a month away.. I am not prepared for it. Maybe next time... :)

What else-- School is almost over for Prasanna. This is the last quarter.... Spring break is over... last year we were in Costa Rica :) this year, Prasanna was off to San Fran and I was in Chicago. The weather has been acting weird lately, so haven't been running outside at all. I did a 4 mile couple of weeks back and got back with a blisters. However, I need to start training for my 13.1 soon...

Reading wise, I have started reading.. " Die Trying" by Bo Parfet. It is about climbing the 7 summit of the world including Everest. So far, Bo has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and he is climbing Mt. Kosciusko in Argentina. Reading that books makes me wanna have a strong desire to climb.....If I ever get a chance, I would like to climb at least Mt. Kilimanjaro... and I think I can do it :)

" I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered into this world to defeat, nor does failure come to my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a LION and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my density... I will persist until I succeed...." ----- Og Mandlion

I want this to be my Mantra for rest of my life!!!
