Post lunar eclipse ride and run

BIKE 1:15 and 22.2 miles, 3x5k at 75%
RUN 8 miles with speedwork
RUN COMMUTE 29-ish mins and 3 miles home

The eclipse was at 1am, while I would have loved to wake up to watch it I knew better than to disrupt my sleep schedule to stare out the window. So I was happily needing to pee about 1:30am and got to see part of it! As I guessed, the news had better images to view in daylight hours.

First the bike ride. Simple 3x 5k at 75% effort. I wasn't really tracking the time, but they just I think just under 10 mins each.

The run was the meat of the day. I warmed up with the doggie, who made the first mile in about 12 mins. We stopped a lot, so I didn't count this mile in the totals. The 8 miles includes a warm up run to the track, then: 3x [1200 75%, 200 rest, 600 85%, 400 rest)
#-distance-time-pace-garmin distance
#1 1200 5:31 6:33 .84 mi
#1 600 2:38 6:08 .43 mi
#2 1200 5:16 6:57 .76 mi second intervals run in reverse, that seems to throw the garmin off.
#2 600 2:28 6:38 .37 mi
#3 1200 5:15 6:21 .83 mi
#3 600 2:27 5:56 .41mi

This was a wonderful run! It got cold again overnight (dammit) and I thought this would ruin the fun. I did have a headwind out of the NW that made that section of track chilly, but the tailwind was nice! During the intervals, I felt as if I could go even faster if only my feet could turn over quicker! WHOOP! I wasn't wiped out at the end, still had energy, and loved the feeling. I cooled off with a run to work.

I had some fairly miserable stomach cramps in the afternoon (cause unknown so far) and didn't think I'd be able to run home as planned. Luckily by the time 6pm rolled around the pain was minimized. But I was dehydrated, another bad factor. So with some updates to DH, I took off with some apprehension, but all was well! I just slowed down and took my time, and not surprisingly felt better after the run.

I gotta figure out these pains, I don't think they are related to my gb, but they are quite frequent lately. Symptoms are major bloating, pretty severe pain, only thing that helps is lying down. I think it's GI gas, I can feel things blurping and moving around, but I'm not passing much so I'm not sure. Working on it.
