I found this article through <a href="http://marathonleap.blogspot.com/2008/09/case.html">Lifestudent</a>, and I don't like it. I mean, it's good to read and we always need to remember that there are trained professionals who know more about the human body than we do, but I don't like it because I have been having some aches and pains and I don't want to rest right now, three weeks from my marathon. I have been cutting back in little ways to give my body the recovery time I think it needs, so I hope that's enough!

"You're run down, so you keep getting colds and little aches and pains," Dieffenbach says. Other symptoms include moodiness, depression, a dip in performance, trouble sleeping, and persistent fatigue. The cure: rest and recovery.
