Eureka!!!! I know what's going on. Yes I do have sore mucles and perhaps some tendonitis but this is not it. Well if you read my blog, last week I had a small procedure in my teath. I happen to bleed a lot and I also kept bleeding for a few good days after, even for a week. So I was complaining last night to my wife that I am getting slow and tired and I don't know what's happening to me. So she lifted her eyes from her laptop and quietly said: you lost a lot of blood, you have low iron. And at that moment I had an epiphany. The reason why I'm so tired and that each run is such a huge effort is low iron! God bless my wife (who is a pharmacist). I'm now taking iron suplements and hoping for good.
I went for a run of 4 loops around the east campus. I entered 8 time 100 meter fast segments to see if I still have any speed left in me what so ever. I do. The run was a great workout. It can't be that the iron suplement is already working but I'm feeling better. The over all pace was reasonable 7:59.
