Comments: The last few days have been rough. I don't know what hit me this weekend but I've felt pretty awful since Sunday. After sleeping 10 hours on Saturday, I put in 11 on Monday -- feeling awful the next day in both cases.
This morning I finally woke up feeling rested rather than absolutely drag ass. The run went much better than Monday's as well. Hopefully, I've turned the corner on whatever it was.
I wasn't really trying to push things today. Rather, I just wanted to ride it out at whatever my legs felt up to. Surprisingly, that meant a pretty nice clip. The slowest mile was the first and that was well under 9 min/mi. It's encouraging but we'll see if this kind of effort is sustainable going forward.
