Talk about a forced taper! I'll focus on Fri and Sat.

I was going to run Friday, but realized I was very dehydrated and opted for Saturday. Bad me for getting dehydrated! But my morning plans also messed up by getting too focused on my foods for the day, cutting veggies, and prepping stuff so we wouldn't have a repeat of the previous night's 'late to bed because dinner wasn't ready problem'.

Saturday went like planned. Up, prep, and out. The first mile was a steep, rutted, gravely downhill, best done at a cautious walk! I didn't bring my garmin so I was winging it. I did however have a planned route on a local trail that turned out to be blocked, not only by a closed gate but also by at least 4 signs warning me to not trespass or enter without a permit.

Well, the highway doesn't need a permit! So I ran along that, out-n-backed to a neighbors house, back to the highway for an out-n-back, then onto the gravel fire road at the bottom of the first hill. Finally the run got pretty (see picture)! Out n back there, then up the hill to home.

Felt REALLY good! And warm :)

Later that day I had another tummy pain event. Lied down for 15 mins, gone. WTH?
