welp, came down with a cold right as i was hitting my stride. rested today instead of planned kenyan-style progression run. hopefully a good night's sleep will help, last night i barely slept at all.

carrying a fair amount of fatigue into this and i guess being sick didn't help. RPE 8.5, breathing wasn't hard, despite the lingering cough/chest congestion, but legs felt heavy and stiff from the jump and that carried through. Rx was 9-10 miles but to modulate based on fatigue and not let it get too hard, hence stopping when i did. first time wearing AP4s, they were okay.

ETA: hours later, still getting the weird involuntary muscle twitches in my lower legs that i associate with half marathon races. guess my legs really are tired.

yesterday's low-grade headache turned into a migraine overnight, worst one i've had in several months. what joy. it's dissipating now but fml, it sucked.
