Event: CHIG Mitre SE League event
 

2K before and 1K afters..

Mitre at Epping: Short Brown - pretty pleasing run with only one schoolboy gaffe: got to 2 but ruled it out as code was different to what I thought - left control and moved on but terrain didn't look right. Rechecked code and realised I had the wrong one in my head. Backtracked and lost 45secs or so. Lost a small amount of time at 9 and slight hesitation getting to 15 though the intricate stuff of the camps. Forest was very inviting and was able to go straight for much of it, even through what had been mapped as light (or even darker) green. Felt a bit slow in parts, but given th recent illness, it's not surprising. An encouraging start to 2017.

Woke feeling shattered - still effects of virus, I think. Took it easy and did feel rubbish. Hope to be okay for tomorrow.

Better night's sleep and decided to rest - felt the best I have done all week, but still shattered by end of working day.

After day of work at home, decided to do this instead of run. Cold out. Jogged it in parts too and feeling improved today. Hopefully effects of virus finally lifting.

Was supposed to go to the gym for a session, but felt wrecked and needed to get out in fresh air. Village loop and felt awful, possibly post-viral fatigue and return to work.

Back to work and felt pretty knackered... managed to get out: North O&B and then additional 1K on the track at end of Lacey's Lane.

Home from shift and felt cold (so didnt fancy trek out); did 5 mins of stair-running (which was intense) then into the 'Daily Workout' (from Pinterest) which was excellent - 3 sets (with 1 min between).
