Feel so swollen and tired

RUN 6.6 miles in probably just over an hour, no garmin
BIKE COMMUTE 9.5 miles

Sluggy! That's how I feel. Heavy, bloated, swollen even. Yes, swollen! My ankles have been swollen for a few days now, I thought it might have been the salt, the sitting at work, ???. But it's been persistent. Can't even see my ankle bones!

Then last day or two I'm feeling like my eyes are puffy. Today it's most noticable, my whole face feels saggy and puffy. I don't really see it in the mirror. On top of it, my whole body feels heavy and bloated. Is it the gluten? A random thing? Or all in my head?

Of course, when you type in "gluten = [anything]" you get what you're looking for. When I type in facial swelling, yup. Edema, yup. Yesterday I randomed across an article about non alcoholic fatty liver as a celiac symptom. My gall bladder scans two years ago observed that!??!??!

Geez I could go crazy waiting for this challenge to end. This is my third week, so by my GI doc I'm almost half way there. I've debated going longer to be absolutely certain of the result, but in PubMed I can find people with CD showing antibodies at 28 days, only 4 weeks. We'll see, I might not make it longer than 6 weeks.

As for the run, I was feeling sluggy and not terribly motivated. I happily dropped back to run with BS and IT, I don't get to see or talk to IT much lately. I love hearing BS's stories about qualifying, age group, etc. I love the competitive side! LC is injured, her calf again. What else...I shared a japanese sweet potato and fenugreek sprouts with DT. Forgot to start my Garmin at the beginning, hence the lack of time measure. Walked my Sugar after the run.

BS sent a 'thank you' email to us later in the morning, I want to reply thanking him.

Supposed to get up to 50F today for the high! OOh just checked it's 55F!
