Sore legs no sleep

3 days off running trying to catch up on sleep and throw in a party. Not a good mix!.
A few too many drinks then throw in a few plate fulls of food and a late night / early morning and then back it all up with a run at 4am ?!?
What was I thinking ?
It was about -5 deg and I never felt like warming up. A very very slow 22k at 5:45 pace and my hands, arms and nose were frozen.
The long hot shower after was the only good thing about the run.
Sunday arvo another party and you would think common sense would step in and say "hey you remember this morning ?" No way.
Anyway my Monday run felt terrible. My legs felt heavy,sore and I didn't take any water. So when I hit about 14k I was thirsty!.
Alarm bells started to ring and at 15k I stopped at a park watering station and drank lots of water. All up 15.3k at 5:15 pace and felt terrible.
Tonight the farts again and take the rest of the week from there.
Take care
