Hang in there Maurine!!! I think you are still recovering from work overload, your ultra and being sick, give yourself a chance to catch your breath!!!! Just think of the advice you would give others on the blog if they over did it, you are too hard on yourself!!! Chill this weekend, then you have next week to give a go again. You will bounce right back, I have no doubt.

I agree. I felt like you did the two weeks after my ultra. Only now am I starting to feel like normal again.

You had a hard day yesterday! Go easy... It's ok to feel fatigued. Are you using a monitor?

Do you have a couple weeks that you can spare for some low recovery time? Work has been kicking your bum. Please find a way to rest your worn out self. :) Let's go have lunch :) See, eating is always the solution ;)
