1 mile with Twilight and 5.5 miles on my own this afternoon. I felt really good today until I started running. The running totally depressed me.  Every step felt like work and I had no endurance and threw in a bunch of walking breaks.  Hopefully it is from being sick.  If running felt like this every day - I would question why I would ever want to run again.

Sorry about the run today. I've had days like that. I'm sure it's from getting over illness. You will get your GOOD RUNNING DAYS back!!! I just know it. Keep the faith and stay positive!

Rest my dear... please :) Running through illness and stress can really feel crappy :( Right now you just need more rest. You've got all of those miles in the bank.

Do you want my tow new marathon books to read while you are down? You've probably read them :)

Stayed home from work today and am just laying in bed reading. No energy and a sore throat - so I am heating up some orange juice to drink.

Not really. I go through periods when I am feeling good, but just did some grocery shopping and feel like I was hit by a truck.
