I am in very good fitness and cannot afford to lose too much fitness because of this bug. The Tamiflu seems to be doing a very good job of controlling my fever, although I still spend the whole night sweating. My run today went in cycles, really lethargic, decent pace, and back again. Better than nothing and seem to be feeling stronger daily. We shall see... * I don't know... I hope I am getting better. My muscles and stride today felt fluid, but once again...
