Still feeling really low energy and congested. Seems having a cold is a pretty common theme on a few blogs this week. I'll accept that may be what's going on with me, though allergies are most likely.
Got out tonight for what I wanted to be a moderate to tempo paced run. Legs weren't there at all. Am I still feeling it from Monday's hard effort?? or is it this funk?? The way I have felt this week I'm starting to think the red-line effort on Monday may have been too much. I feel like I have been right at my body's recovery limit in this training cycle (especially when combined with very long and stressful work days) and Monday may have pushed it over a little. One thing I know it did was aggravate my knee a bit. It's felt a little tweaky all week (pops a lot, some pain). I know it will calm down in a few days.
