fatigue

Today Wednesday, I ran 4.1 this morning and did a speed workout this afternoon. I did 2 w/u and 4 x 1k with each getting progressively faster starting at 4:10 and working down to 3:43. It was a tough workout but not so difficult. The track team was on the track too so it was nice to have company. I warmed down two miles and ran into the volleyball team on the road near the track. They are preparing for a 24 hour relay and have asked me to run with them. I am not so excited about doing it but I have never done one before so it might be interesting. Recently I have been so tired from the mileage I am running. Running higher mileage makes me incredibly, deeply tired. When I sleep it is like the dead. It is kind of a nostalgic feeling. I haven't felt this way in many years. It is a satisfying feeling. After four days I have run 37 miles. I need 33 miles in 3 days to get 70 this week.
