No running today. I feel pretty beat up. The quads are weak and sore. Spent the whole afternoon/ evening doing some drip line projects that I have been pushing off for a couple months. It will be nice to not have to carry water in a bucket and drag the hose around anymore to all the bushes and trees I've planted in the last year.

I was going to run with Paul this morning but I slept right through my alarm. Maybe the first time I've ever done that. So mid morning I pushed Myler around the Little Valley loop. I felt ok the first mile but the rest of the run felt like the finishing miles of Saturdays marathon. Just had nothing and the quads are really weak and sore. Now I wish I hadn't even ran because it will most likely just delay the recovery.

Ran the Little Valley loop this evening. It was still close to 100 F and between the heat and my body still being pretty trashed from the marathon- this was a hard run for me. Not only are the legs still sore and heavy but I've got some real overall general fatigue. Even the simplest daily tasks have seemed too much. I need a good 17 straight hours of sleep and I think that would help square me off.

Ran with Harmer and Hughes on the middle B-hills loop. Pace was EZ. I'm still generally trashed and the legs seem like railroad ties. But I believe today felt better and there might be light at the end of the tunnel.

Regular B-hills loop. Legs are still in the dead stage. Kind of feels like someone punched my quads and gave me a dead leg... but it just won't go away. This morning was the worst my breathing has been too since the chemical accident. I was way short on breath. Had I been running with anyone I wouldn't have been able to talk to them. Oh the joys... hoping to get back to normal soon.

DC loop. Had to be at the temple at 7:40 a.m so I just ran a lone this morning early from the house. This run felt better than the rest of the week had but still felt like I was pulling a spare tire and then some. 

Busy day. Temple at 8 a.m. At the lake by 11 a.m. Home from the lake around 4 p.m. Then out to dinner with friends at 6 p.m. Not home until 9:30 p.m or so and then just died.
