Last week I wrote that I took the weekend off from running "because I needed it". That was true, but not quite the complete story. As runners and human beings it's normal to be "tired" but last Friday afternoon I came down with a spell of fatigue and a headache out of nowhere that absolutely flattened me. I took a nap on Friday, and then napped most of the next day, and slept very deeply that night. By Sunday the headache cleared up and I was able to keep my eyes open again. I wasn't sure if it would be all zip-a-dee-doo-dah or if there was more to come, so I stayed home for all of this week just to be sure. Oh wait I stay home every week, but I mean in the sense that I didn't run any errands or go on any group runs.
