CCP trails with TV

RUN 10 miles in I think 2 hours
WALKIES 4.67, 3.5 in TGP with RM

There was a partial lunar eclipse this morning! I could only see a few mins of it, the moon was already setting behind the trees.

The back injury and rest week doubly spurred me to test more new foods. Although I knew corn was problematic, I wanted to really give it a fair shot.So Friday morning I ate a quarter cup of the masa harina (also ate quarter cup Thursday night). Most of the day Friday I had a "heavy" gut, kinda pained but more discomfort than pain. Like a weight was in my gut.

This sorta sorted it out in "business" Saturday  morning before the run, but apparently not.

The day was gorgeous! Sunny, started cool but warmed up. TV was 95% healed. The trails were soft and smooth from the bikers. The downsides were my back and my gut.

The left side of my back was hurting!? I think I tweaked it during my 45 mins of strength training Friday morning? I kept that easy, slow crunches if any and minimal jarring and twisting. But today it hurt to take a deep breath. Not a focal pain, but a localized one: Low on the left side, I sometimes thought it was under the ribs but really it was right at the base of the ribs.

Was this a new injury? Tired muscles from the strength training yesterday? YIKES!

And my gut. I did OK until mile 7 or 8. My original plan was 8 miles, did I mentally check out when we hit that point? I kinda did, I think. But my gut didn't help any. For the last mile it was doing an audible 'plurp-plurp-plurb'. I could HEAR my gut?!?!?! Ugh, awful. Thankfully TV had taken off for his finish intervals.

Lots of gas after the run, but still very uncomfortable. But the run felt great.
