Run down

The mileage, combined with the usual winter weather, work hours, etc lead to a couple of sick days and sleepless nights. Needless to say, I won't be breaking 50 miles this week. Still hope to get in 30 or so, even with 3 days off, but can't push the pace until I feel 100% again. This is one of the few times that I've broken the rule about whether an illness should stop your run. Normally, if the cold/congestion, etc is from the neck or higher, you run; chest colds, etc, you rest. This one kept me from sleeping so much that I just didn't have the energy to put in a run those days. On the plus side, my legs feel perfectly fine after my 7 miles this morning, so I should be back to normal mileage next week.
