I know how you feel. 17 days to go until Columbus and I feel worn out, beat up and like crap generally. And, it seems like I have a cold. I understand this is somewhat normal. Any truth to this, or do I just suck?

For me, I go through little phases of this... I'll feel like crap for a couple of weeks, then feel great, then feel like crap again, and so on. Such is life...

Maybe thats where I'm at, in the "feeling like crap" phase. My body is just angry with me or something. It'll pass, soon I hope.

It will... maybe take an extra day of recovery, run easy, postpone the speedwork, something like that... Those things usually help me recover fresh legs.

I'm feeling a little better, and I'll take off Saturday and Sunday since I'll be too busy with my daughter's soccer tournament in Cape May, NJ. Monday I'll start off fresh and ready for a good workout.
