Only 14 today

RUN 14 miles in 1:15
BIKE COMMUTE 6.4 miles

Usually I run 15 miles on Wednesdays. But I double (and triple) checked the math. 4+14+7+50 does in fact add up to 75 miles.

Last night and yesterday afternoon I was out of energy. Flat. No spark. Even walking the dog was no fun. Need to eat more carbs? I'll take a look at trends and see what I'm eating. Could also be stress, training load, or long periods of boredom. More on that below, but I'm thinking that only starts a trend started by the other factors.

Hopefully when April is off the calendar so is this cool weather! Admittedly, mid-40's isn't terribly cold, so there's not much to complain about. Before the run I ate a small banana, clementine, egg whites, 2T of maple syrup, and 1 serv of EFS to see if the purer sugar load amps up my energy. I guess it did? And I fueled on about 30 jelly beans during the run, but that was more mental stimulation than fuel.

The run was good, but again flat energy. And my back was hurting again when I started from a stop. Right between the shoulder blades, where I guess T8 is located? Not sure, I though T8 was lower? With everything being tight, and with the 'manipulations' yesterday I'm not sure what to expect.

Off to see the PCP in the afternoon, when I got a sense of impending tests. He pointed out that I need to be thinking of more than CD, like SIBO, fungal overgrowth, microcolitis....   Then he read the bone doc's report and said she thinks I have a genetic bone regrowth issue!?  ACK!! Can't think about this shit right now. While he wasn't worried so much about the Vitamin D, he was serious about getting me to a GI specialist and concerned about my back. Ugh.
