I am however, still a bit sick, but getting better. The 90-min runs seem to have awoken my fueling system and opened my strides. I feel very fluid and fit, even though I am not very fit (no workouts), but if I can get 8-10 weeks

Have a couple of slight issues, but this run was well worth it... once again, Jake's rubbed off some fitness.
