Gut relapse! And my stool chart guide for runners.

RUN 5.6 miles in 53 ish minutes, from home
BIKE COMMUTE 6.4 miles (yes, on a Sunday)

I knew before I fell asleep last night that I was going to have tummy troubles by the characteristic burbly sounds. And before I fell asleep I noted that my stomach area felt hard or tight. Not sure what that was.

When I woke up, it was the classic symptoms: gotta "go" right after I wake up, fluidy/burbly sounds, and no "waiting" needed (or allowed, as in GO NOW). T5.5, I'd call it.

DAMMIT!

I got the run in with some burbly-ness and spent part of the run mapping out the Bristol Stool Chart in running terms. Starting with constipation: Dead stop, trudge, shuffle, walk, jog, run, sprint. LOL!

Came back from the run, had a T6. Or a run, if you will. Hee hee! Except it sucks.

So analysis time. Factors that could have contributed:
-the run
-the heat
-the potato, gels, or chestnuts,
-the kabocha I ate friday
-all the fruit I ate friday
-yogurt?
--> most likely a combination

To make matters worse, I didn't come up with a plan until later in the day, was rushed, had to go to work, and had a last minute request to see the house -- so I didn't eat much better today either. Tomorrow might be a replay.

NUMERICS!
RUN 40.1 miles in 7-8 hours
BIKE COMMUTE 51.3 miles
WALKIES
