5/14/17 to 5/20/17: Dead Legs or a Virus or Something

What a weird week.  I was dealing with allergies a few weeks ago, and I'm pretty sure that has passed, but I may have come down with a case of dead legs or a virus...or something.  Every run this week felt like a slog, and Tuesday's track workout was the most brutal effort I've ever had.  I was keeled over after every rep, every rep was slow, and I was a salty mess when I finally got home.

Additional, on most of my runs my equilibrium would go off kilter.  If not for that, I would've suspected dead legs, but that little wrinkle makes me think it could be more.  In any case, I'm not getting worse, and if it is in fact dead legs - then when I come out the other side, hopefully I'll have that pop that I've been missing.

The Corrib Pub 5k, and Adrian Martinez Classic are right around the corner, and I need to get race ready ASAP.

The week!
