It may be a little of both. I read that even just changing the order of which you do exercises is good so that your body doesn't get use to your routine.

I think some of my problem may be the new lifting routine I was trying out. The new routine called for 2 days a week of lower body and 2 days a week of upper body. Plus an additional day of plyometrics. The WARM UP for the lower body days was 100 squats and there were even more squats in the plyometric workout. I have decided to forgo that routine because it was just to much leg workouts along with my running.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good after really slacking the last few days. So I headed out for a 3 mile run. It was going so good that I ended up doing 5 miles in 46:35. Now I am looking forward to lifting (chest and triceps) later this afternoon.

Much needed rest day today. I did clean up my house and go out to the pool for a while so I got a little activity.
