February 21- day off from training.

February 20- finally back in action after a week down with a serious stomach virus.  Still pretty weak.  Did 32k snatch: 3 minutes @ 12 rpm (18/18).  I lost the week when I would have jumped up to 4 minutes (24/24), and I think I need at least another week at 18/18 before making this jump.  Slow and steady wins the race, right?

February 19- nothing today.  Weak from this virus.  Ugh.

February 18- felt a little better today.  Decided to test chin ups. Got 10 with no problem, could have gotten 11, but not 12. Back to bed. Very little appetite.

February 17- no training. Still can't eat a thing.

February 16- no training.  Can't eat.

February 15- no training. Norovirus hit hard.  Threw up all night, with lower gastric problems to follow.  Very little sleep.
