Now as you read this keep in mind, I am the original over trainer...every lesson that I have learned, I learned the hard way with some sort of "itis" in a tendon some where in my body.

I use the running up the stairs test myself. I mt bike a couple times a week with a group of guys, and sometimes it takes my legs two days to recover in between. It is hard for me to swallow sometimes, but I have learned that sometimes I have to sacrifice a workout to have a better workout next time.

So I think some rest is probably what you need too.
