This could be classified as an unmitigated disaster. I felt fine the first 3 miles at marathon pace. In fact, I even got into a rhythm where I was comfortable but by 4 miles the wheels had fallen off. I have no idea what's happening to me the last 10 days. I feel fine then all of the sudden I don't. When I hit that point I'm done and can't get back on track. I haven't had anything like this in my running experience. It's not like I suffering a specific injury or particular issue. It's like overall fatigue or something. I don't seem to be able to will myself out of the mire.

I'm now wondering if I'm still recovering from my half PR effort 2 weeks ago. Or if it's associated with stress caused by my job uncertainty. Or maybe it's both ... or neither ....
