sick and sore

It is probably good to have both a sickness and muscle soreness at the same time, as they both set you back in your training.  The really concerning thing is the level of muscle tightness even after two days of racing.  I expected to have a lot due to shocking my body by running again, and even more, by having to run two 5k's in the race.  But it is obvious my running muscles haven't been used in a while.  I can't even walk normally and getting up and down stairs leaves me looking older than most people's grandparents.  I guess that is what I get for racing.  Lets just hope I miraculously wake up tomorrow feeling great.
