AM- another tired 6 miles.  I'll try to get a lot of sleep the next 2 nights and see if I really start feeling better.  I'm not sure how much fatigue is due to my sickness, how much due to race recovery, and how much due to overtraining.  One strange thing is that I hardly ran this week and felt like I ate the normal (i.e. 80-100 mile training week) amount, but am at my lightest weight in years.  Weird.

Right after the run I went to a Honda dealer and bought a 2007 Odyssey.  Gotta fit 4 car seats now, you see.  The best part is that I'll now get Marci's Camry, and sell my 1995 Toyota Tercel (with no air conditioning and 196k miles).  The Tercel has been a great car, though, and I'll really miss it.  My first car ever, 40+ mpg, plenty of speed and power, and never once broke down. **sniff** **sniff**

We have a 2007 Odyssey and have enjoyed it so far. And hopefully I won't have to part with my 1993 Camry for awhile.
