I wasn't in my peak physical condition like during my cross country season but not completely out of shape. I just finished volleyball season but that doesn't say too much, not much running required there.

I'm just kind of worried about my fitness level for plebe summer. I've been sick the past week and a half with walking pneumonia so I really have'nt done any training at all, and I'm guessing it might be another week untill i'm a hundred percent. After this though will three to four weeks of...
