24 Oct Byrd: I am not dead…well not yet!

Guys I promise I didnt die from the hamstring tear, but this damn flu might have done me in. Today is the first day I actually feel human. I have spent the last few nights sleeping in the chair because I couldnt stop coughing. I didnt think it was fair to Liz to keep her up all night with my coughing non stop.

So with that said, my training has not happened. Being sick has really helped keep my diet in check, have to look on the bright side right? I have been keeping up with my rehab and doctors visits. The blood is out of my hamstring and there is some strength coming back. I will be back to training tomorrow, and out of town to coach at a meet this coming weekend. I am looking forward to heading up to Lexan and seeing Dan and his group put on a great meet.
