The running gods are telling me to take a break and let me legs heal that extra few days before LA. How do I know? They made me sick. See, the running gods follow us on our daily runs. If you are hitting the right pace, all the lights will be grenn. If you are not training at the right levels and pushing too hard, the gods will turn the lighst red and make you take a break. They also can effect our bodies, such as me being sick. They are making me ill enough where I can barely get in a 4 easy miler and not push it too hard. With only 11 days to go until the LA Marathon, I am listening to them.
