Still feeling really low energy and congested.  Seems having a cold is a pretty common theme on a few blogs this week.  I'll accept that may be what's going on with me, though allergies are most likely. 

Got out tonight for what I wanted to be a moderate to tempo paced run.  Legs weren't there at all.  Am I still feeling it from Monday's hard effort?? or is it this funk?? The way I have felt this week I'm starting to think the red-line effort on Monday may have been too much.  I feel  like I have been right at my body's recovery limit in this training cycle (especially when combined with very long and stressful work days) and Monday may have pushed it over a little. One thing I know it did was aggravate my knee a bit.  It's felt a little tweaky all week (pops a lot, some pain).  I know it will calm down in a few days. 

7 miles easy to moderate pace, 750 vert.

Bryce... The easy days will pay off. You got this in the bag!! Plus alergies have been off the hook the last few weeks.

Take it wasy and get some rest for your body and your knee. It won't hurt you a bit.

Scott and Oreo, thanks for the input, you're right, the rest and easier days will probably do much more good than than any possible harm. Scott, knee is getting much better already, typical meniscus tear, like a rock in your shoe, bugs sometimes and fine at others.
