This week was 54 miles of running and 7 "miles" pool-running.
I finished up the antibiotics on Sunday. And...I started feeling worse, not better. I don't feel awful, but I do feel run down and my voice is still raspy and my sinuses hurt intermittently.
I tried a marathon pace workout on Saturday, but canned it almost immediately when it became obvious that I had no power in my stride. I blamed this on going to bed too late on Friday night, so after getting much more sleep on Saturday night I tried a progressive long run on Sunday. It didn't go much better.
Clearly I'm still off and probably fighting something. So it's pretty clear what I need to do - can next week's marathon and check back in with my primary care doctor. I'm guessing I need to do a longer round of antibiotics.
