Hey, I have been dragging around the exact same malady. I already have the Monday 8:40 am doc appt And I skipped the second of my two sprint races this morning because of it. I was glad that I did. Don't feel bad--it's hard for your legs to do their job when they're not getting the full oxygen dose. Go to the doc and get it taken care of. And eat a cookie.

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

It's amazing you accomplished what you did, feeling that way!
Go to the doctor. I have been struggling with the same thing for 6-8 weeks. Two rounds of antibiotics and I am now just starting to feel normal. And, it actually did start off as allergies, but spiraled downward to sinus infection, triggering the asthma, etc.2015 Trek Silque SSL

I hate that feeling. I raced a marathon after "fighting off" a cold that I didn't actually fight off, and I just never could find my stride.
Not your best, but still a strong showing considering your situation. You'll sleep well, at least (or slept well, considering this was yesterday).
And yes, you deserve a cookie! Get well soon!! 6 weeks is plenty of time.

I hate that - when the lungs just don't work. Get yourself checked out to make sure it isn't something serious or something that might be helped with antibiotics. And REST!!
