No running.

Really did not feel well.

PM: 10 miles

Felt absolutely rejuvenated.  This virus is ridiculous.  A couple times a week I feel like death, and then all of a sudden the sky opens up.  I don't understand this at all.

AM: 11.3 miles

PM: 6.3 miles, even did hill intervals quite hard effort-wise.

Again, felt rejuvenated, although the weather was terrific (for Florida).  80s, still humid, but rainy.  I know it sounds still awful, but it was really ideal.

The virus is really intermittent lately for me.  I'm well outside the infectious window, but it isn't going away.  The months prior to this it seemed like breathing would be the challenge, but the challenge for me is vascular.  My blood, my muscles, the pressure... It just won't go away.  The last two days have been great, but it honestly feels like this is just never going to go stop.  I'm really disappointed.  I know I'm a healthy individual, so I guess I just never figured it would do this.  At least to me.  Naive to say the least.  

What it means for my fitness, I have no idea.  It's residual nature is just enraging.  Even if there were races currently, I don't think I'd even participate.  I wouldn't even touch a Parkrun.  It will eventually go away, but these waves are unnerving.

PM: 10 miles. I must've walked four times and sat down twice. Afterwards I was incredibly sore- everywhere. I am really not dealing with this positively. At least I have control over that aspect.

No running, the nightmare continues.
