I was not feeling great when I woke up this morning--stomach was turning like a top. May have been too much chili flavored dark chocolate last night. It took me a few minutes to collect myself and get out the door to run. I figured I would just go and see how I felt and turn back if things got ugly. I never had to turn back, but things did get kind of ugly. I was 'refluxing' gatorade for much of the run, kind of like the Ogden marathon again. My energy level is still low now. I am just going to eat and hydrate normally and see if I can get my equilibrium back. I ran the TiTP/Golf Course loop. Very slowly.
PM: still not feeling great, 3 miles from work to home. | Comments(3) |

Heather was with her mom this morning and I had Jack. Once he woke up I put him in the baby jogger and off we went. I still wasn't feeling great (and still am not now). Stomach not in great shape, low energy, generally fatigued. Anyway, I pushed Jack for 10 miles on the hilly U/Aves/Ensign Elem loop with some additional stretches here and there to boost the mileage a bit and get up to 10.0. Saw Adam out tearing it up on 11th Ave.
I was supposed to run again this evening, but events and my general crappy feeling conspired against it. I feel like I need some rest, and to have my stomach rung out. I hoped that some Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with water and a little Maple Syrup would resolve things, but it didn't. Neither did the Kombutcha, or, the probiotics I took after dinner. | Comments(1) |

| Feeling noticeably better this morning--probably 80%, whereas the rest of the week has felt like 55%-60%. That is to say, my stomach stopped feeling like it was trying to digest broken glass. I don't know what has been going on, but I think it must be some kind of GI virus. Jack started throwing up this morning, much the way I did on Monday, primarily bile. Maybe Heather will elude it. So I've missed a couple of workouts this week and have had to content myself with slow recovery runs. But I think that's exactly what my body has needed to try to get over this little virus or whatever it is.

After feeling decent most of yesterday, I had a relapse last night and didn't eat dinner (except a banana shortly before bed). I felt better when I woke up this morning and managed to get in 8 miles. I ran much of it with John Straley, who was running into work but diverted his course to run with me. Got to catch up with him which was nice.
PM: After I got home from work, I had a little bit of extra time and a little bit of extra energy so I pushed Jack for three miles out and back to Memory Grove. | Comments(3) |

I ate enough last night and felt decent enough this morning that I figured it was ok to try things out on a long run. I ran from home to Emigration Canyon via TiTP and then up the canyon to the five mile mark at approximately the Sun and Moon Cafe. On the way down the canyon, I ran at a slightly elevated pace (no faster than 6:25 per m). Since I had left the house kind of late (6:40 am), it was getting pretty warm and sunny on the return. I had just one bottle with me, which I polished off with four miles to go. However, in front of the Monument Cafe at TiTP there was an unopened bottle of Arrowhead water. There was no one around to claim it, so I helped myself. I will try to return the favor to the universe somehow.
The body felt fine after the run--it just felt the way a longer run should feel. I think I can try to return to normal training next week. It's been a very strange week. | Comments(1) |
