ugh. horrible. had to walk almost half. not sure if it was a carb-heavy breakfast, 4 cups of tea & 2 of coffee, fatigue or what. just could not get my breathing easy (still isn't). from Chavez/Clinton back, i ran ok, however. i have no idea what was missing. electrolytes? protein? just one of those days?

i read that an ice bath after running (for the legs) is very healing. i didn't do ice, but i ran a cold tub & sat in that. it hurt initially, of course, but then felt good. i will definitely do after long runs. some ice baths just for my feet would be a good idea, too.

i think maybe the 5-1/2 hrs of sleep might be my big problem. gotta start getting to bed early.
