LM warmup, 4.54 miles in 37:58, 8:22/mi, HR 138, 2 x Drills, 6 x Strides & stretching.

62F & humid.  Legs felt tired pretty quickly again, along with the uncoordinated muscle contractions.  Managed to get a set of strides/drills in, but when I launched into the Steady State portion, I (barely) managed a mile before I was through.  Legs are just toasted.  Maybe I need a couple of decent days off where I only stretch and do core work.

Sounds like your body is over trained to the point that it can't get caught back up with just a day off, or an easy run. Perhaps you're paying a toll for all those miles you logged when you were out east in the hot and humid.

I'm reluctantly coming to that conclusion too....very reluctantly....
