For Christmas I got the flu. It came with some great features like chills, cold sweats, the usual fever and a soar throat. Medication was sold separately and like batteries was overpriced. I was sick for a solid five days, five days that were to be a critical component of my marathon training. Oh well, in the words of that nineties pop wonder Chumbawamba, I get knocked down but I get up again. The flu took more out of me then I expected. I did a 19.3 mile run on friday, it hurt, I am sore and now nervous about the race. However, I can not blame it all on the flu, I did slack a little and skip out on two or three big runs. My demise will be the result of a team effort by Flu and Apathy. We will see how it all pans out, I got two weeks to recover and taper my training. . . Giddy-up!
I also start student teaching at Shasta Hight School this tuesday. I have two remedial freshman classes and a junior english class. It is a relief be making the final steps to a career. I would love to be hired by Shasta High come fall and my plan is to make myself a vital part of the school community, that way when hiring time comes they will say to themselves, what would SHS be without Mr. Tyler?--hire that man!
I am pumped for 2009

Sorry you had the flu over the holiday but glad to hear about the job (subbing?) at SHS. It's a great school. Keep us all posted on how it is going.
I believe in you honey! Your passionate about teaching and always pumped full of energy. Those kids won't always be good for you, but I believe that they will love you and so will the staff. Love you and am so proud of you!
If they have any intelligence whatsoever, they will definitely say, "Hire that man." If not, I know some great schools in Northwest Indiana. However, it sounds like they eat better in California, based on the oatmeal recipe comments. Unca Pete
