Day 1, Sunday. Slept in, small brekkie, then the drive home. Quick groceries run while I was still functional, then tried to get a lot of chores done in the kitchen, then 4 episodes of Game of Thrones as a forced off the feet rest. Pain everywhere, but no acute injuries or problems. Had a dizzy, carsick type of feeling. Appetite weak but I was tolerating food. Insatiably thirsty. I will note that I woke up and happily pee'd a LOT of water. Funny thing to note, but when you're drinking so much and not pee'ing, you gotta wonder where it's all going :) I'll also confess that I think I saw blood in my urine? But maybe it was something I ate? But I didn't eat anything I don't normally eat, and I didn't have this on the same foods from LBL. Maybe the EFS?
Day 2, Monday. Only my quads hurt! I'm so surprised that the soles of my feet don't hurt, and neither does my left knee! But I'm oh so tired, confused, dizzy, nauseated, carsicky, hot then cold then hot, euphoric than cryingly sad. Still very thirsty. Still pee'ing a lot. But no more pink/red color. Quads hurt and sitting/standing is an effort.
Day 3, Tuesday. Still dragging around, but the quads aren't hurting much at all.
Day 4, Weds. Tried a 30 min spin on the bike this morning. 6.5 miles and hours of fatigue. There was just no life in it. Losing my appetite, but my legs don't hurt!
Day 5, Thurs. I'm glad I'm tracking this, it's an interesting trend line. Today I'm nauseated and tired and unfocused. No pain anywhere, aside from some tightness in my knees upon waking up. Coulda slept funny, I guess. No appetite, but I'm functional. Response time and focus tend to wane but it's a productive day at work. I'm wondering where this second wave of fatigue is coming from.
Day 6. Friday. Still in a depressive state, and I'm realizing it's post-race depression. But it's probably combined with a lack of "high" as I'm not training. Most importantly, IT'S MENTAL! This is all in my head! SO SNAP THE F^CK OUT OF IT AND GIT MOVING!
