Hi!

Hope you’re feeling better.

If it’ll help, I’ll channel my 1st Sgt from way long ago.

“You’re not sick. You’re demotivated. Go run 5 miles. That’ll make you feel better.”

Get well soonest.

And I’m in.

“You’re not sick. You’re demotivated. Go run 5 miles. That’ll make you feel better.”

This reminded me of the Wikipedia article about the 1976 Swine Flu:

In January 1976 several soldiers at Fort Dix complained of a respiratory illness diagnosed as influenza. The next month, Private David Lewis, who had the symptoms, participated in a five-mile forced march, collapsed and died. The New Jersey Department of Health tested samples from the Fort Dix soldiers. While the majority of samples were of the more common A Victoria flu strain, two were not. The atypical samples were sent to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, which found evidence of Swine influenza A, related to the 1918 flu pandemic which killed 50-100 million people worldwide.
You didn't have the same sergeant, did you? Was his name Sgt. Survival of the Fittest?
