a.m. - In St. Louis visiting friends from college this weekend. I've been neglecting stretching last 5 days due to work and travel to cities on east coast. My hamstring is a little off now. It'll be great to get home today and back to normal this week. Took the worst yoga class I've ever taken - at an unnamed studio in St. Louis.

p.m. - rolling and stretching all evening while watching Australian Open.

4 miles easy on treadmill late after a long day at work. Rolling and stretching while watching Australian Open.
 

Easy miles through Balboa Park after work. These easy miles felt hard. Low energy levels after a long hard day at work. Stretching while watching Aussie Open. Surprised that Kyrgios is staying with Murray through three sets...(DVR).

a.m. - easy miles before work through Mission Hills. Low energy again, running almost 10 min miles. Hope I'm not getting sick!

p.m. - my favorite yoga class, Vinyassa flow level 2 with Sarah. It's probably psychosomatic, but my hamstring feels healed again. Namaste.

p.m. - aborted mini-threshold workout. Wanted to do 3ish miles at half marathon pace, but just couldn't hang. It turned into a couple of mile repeats. Still struggling with fatigue this week. I have never felt this kind of fatigue before. It's also been a busy and stressful week at work, with a major filing due tomorrow. Rest day is in order tomorrow. Stretch/foam roll during the tennis.

Long run on OB bike path to jetty and pier. No problem holding 8:30ish pace. Big turn around from earlier in the week when I was struggling with fatigue...probably work stress over big filing on Friday. In the winter there are tons of migrating sea birds in San Diego, second only to the Everglades. This path is a great place to find lots of different species. Today I saw a burrowing owl! It's the first owl I've ever seen in person. I was pumped and ran a really fast mile after seeing it!
