Lungs of Steel...

So, I have had a major cold/flu and almost skipped basketball last night because I figured I would just be hacking up a lung the entire time and that my muscles would be too weak to compete.  I went anyway and had a better showing than usual.  I scored some points, blocked a shot, stripped some balls, etc.  And the best thing is we played 3 hours and my lungs were okay during it...I am starting to feel like I am getting into much better shape and my body hurts much less the next day.  I have lost about 12 pounds since December and finally feel I am in good enough shape to start running a few times a week... :)
