Met Paula for a nice easy run.   Legs were very tired but not sore which is good, but means I did not push hard enough on Saturday, but focusing on training this week.

UGH!  I went to group early because now that school has started I have to be home on time.  I got there at 5 and Kris was there as well.  We ran together until 5:30 and then met back with the regular early workout group.   I felt okay during the first 30 min but tired.  We then started the next 30 min or regular warm up and I was dragging.  I chatted with Cheryl for a few minutes but told her to go ahead because I could not keep up.  When we regrouped at 6 am I really considered leaving early but with SGM 6 weeks away, I decided to stick around.   Cheris and I ended up avoiding the hills and running very easy until 6:45.   I expect some fatigue from Saturday, but today was the extreme and I am not feeling well again.   Not really sure if time off is the answer at this point or trying to push through and hoping I get feeling better soon.   What a time to get sick!  I made it all last winter without getting sick and I have now been sick twice this summer.   Enough ranting, hoping tomorrow is better.

I am in San Diego today for work. My Dad had told me that the street my hotel was on would take me to the ocean.  I knew that I was inland but decided to run it and see how far I could get in 4 miles out and another 4 back to the hotel.   I did not make it to the ocean, I would guess another 4 miles and I would have.  It was rolling downhill out and I took it easy and then rolling up hill back.   Once I hit the turn around I got some sort of kick because I picked up the pace significantly on the way back.   I was in the 9's out and mid to low 8's back.   It was finally nice to feel good even if it was at sea level.

Went to the BBK workout.  Met Kris and warmed up with him for 3 miles and then regrouped with everyone else for the extra "extra mileage".    Chatted with Michelle M. and then regrouped for the work out but after my hill excursion yesterday, no hills for me today.  Ran nice and easy with Dean, Cheris, Michelle M and Debbie.

Met Paula this morning and my legs were tired.   My office has been moving and I spent all day yesterday up on my feet and they were tired and sore when I got up.   Took it extra easy because today will be the same.

Met a big group of BBK's for our 20 miler.   I wasn't as worn out as I expected from yesterday so I thought I might be okay.   We ended up splitting into two groups the fasties and the slowpokes.  I was a slow poke today.   I ran a little bit with most everyone at one point or another, but the last 5 miles were pretty painful.  This is when I felt the effects of yesterday, not good.    The good news is the move is over and I am back to normal work and only one day of travel next week.
