What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes.

At first I thought that the "extra rest time" would put you in better shape. When I look at my logs all my injuries have come right after taking sick time. Are you at a higher risk of injury after returning from a bad cold or sore throat? If this is true what would be a good % of miles to come back at it? Or perhaps I got sick because I was overtraining, and the injuries were from overtraining. Opinions?
