Too tired to stand up: it's the energy (man)...anyone else been feeling really bad?

Posted by simon on 3/27/2008 on simon's blog

I didn't take a day off training last week and got up to 46 miles, which is a big week's total for me...today it seems to have caught up with me.

We did a track session early yesterday morning -- 3 x (2 x 800)-- and later in the day I did a Pilates circuit training session; even so that doesn't explain the dense fatigue I feel today. I've had TWO naps and am still struggling to stay upright long enough to do any work.

One of the complementary/alternative medicine email lists I subscribe to has had a bunch of people reporting weird energy (man), ranging from feeling wiped out to feeling extremely depressed. One healer explained that, as we move into spring, the changes in the tilt of the earth and distance from the sun that occurs does affect our personal energy systems. In traditional systems of medicine such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, practitioners routinely support patients with herbal remedies and suchoike during seasonal changes.

All of which might just be a bit "out there" except for the fact that Abby, my wife, had a TERRIBLE day yesterday; today her music group rehearsal is cancelled as two of the band are wiped out; and two of our neighbours have also crashed.

Anyone else ?
