Felt soooo tight upon awakening, espec. left lower leg.  Left foot feels painful.   Also had a pretty bad headache as I left work.  Several coworkers came on shift with lots of perfume on and I quickly got a migraine on the right side of my face and down my neck to my lower spine.  Burning pain.  It didn't go away until I fell asleep.  I awoke all tight.  But determined to detox during another forced run.  This time I went to the PG rec with my husband and ran 5.5 miles on the TM.  Ran 1.5 miles at 2% real easy (8:57 pace) then three miles at 2.75 miles at 3% and .3 miles at 4% at varied increasing speeds.  AP for all 5.5 miles = 8:21.  Did the last .1 before the cooldown 1/2  mile at 2% 6:18 pace.  Just to see where the kinks were.  Yup still the left leg.  So went to the chiropracter (better late than NEVER) and low and behold:  HIPS WAY OUT, both wrists, knees and ankles (espec. my left ankle).   Well that is HOW I landed on my Big fall last week, so not too surprised.  I am just too old to be resilient like a teenager.  I don't go back into place like I should.  Ready to do THE VERY BEST I CAN TOMORROW, A TIME AND SEASON FOR ALL THINGS.....not sure about a PR on a flat course (my best is at the Halloween half last year 1:27:40).  So just going to set a flat course PR of 1:30 to 1:32.  I may try to start out a goal MP (fantasy pace- 6:44) and see if I can hold on.  I never have run a race like that so it makes me nervous to do so.  Or hold off and then try to reel myself in?  Oh forget all this, I am going to just have FUN with it   : DDDD.
