From Burt on Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 17:50:07 from 206.19.214.144

That doctor doesn't know anything! Get back to running.

From Walter on Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 21:52:23 from 24.10.169.110

Thanks Preston.

Burt, Shes a runner and calls me daily because she knows Ill run. I had to promise her I would take 6 days off for my Zpac to be done. It could turn into something worse if I disobey. :)

From Bill on Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 10:50:32 from 168.179.180.76

yes it could turn into something worse "Like a black eye" get well soon.

From Walter on Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 00:27:50 from 24.10.169.110

No doubt Bill. I already have gone through this my senior year of HS. I lost a lot of opportunity from it. Plus I really dont need a black eye.

I didn't listen last April and ended up having pneumonia! Good luck!

From Lily on Thu, Feb 03, 2011 at 11:21:41 from 67.199.181.73

From Teena Marie on Sat, Feb 05, 2011 at 22:38:52 from 67.2.102.13

Feeling any better, Walter James?

From Walter on Sat, Feb 05, 2011 at 23:11:05 from 24.10.169.110

Rye, Im on week two this time with a 6 day steroid treatment. Im half way through it and I have never coughed more in my life!

Lily, I hear ya! I know if I be disobedient what will happen.

Chris, She is from Boston and knows exactly how goofy us runners are. In fact I think I inspired her to run a marathon! Then my evil plan will be complete!

TM, Im sicker now but I was told its from the steroid pills breaking down my crap in my lungs. Hopefully!
