March! Not Injured! Rain! Blood Draw! Lots to say!

RUN 7.1 miles in 61 mins, detail below
No bike, drove to work because ADT can't narrow down a 12-5 appt. Boo.

Well hello March and some new March goals! I like  starting goals at the start of the month, find what didn't work the previous month and spend a few weeks trying to fix it. For me, February was about trying new FODMAP foods and learning to get stuff done when I come home instead of nom'ing.

Today's run was a speed work from the iron plan: WU then 2x1600 at 75%, 2x800 at 84%, 2x400 at 84+%. I did one easy lap between each interval. Not sure I'm really doing 84% level of work yet. My energy just not there. The effort to do so is, but I'm not hitting it. Anyway: about 7:30's for the 1600s, 3:30s for the 800, and 1:40's for the 400s. Felt good! And alternated directions around the track for balance and to collect data for my garmins directionally challenged measurements when I run different ways around the track. Haven't looked at the data yet to know what I got.

Rain was in the forecast but I don't know why they bothered mentioning it. Super light, pleasant and quiet.

Just had my blood draw for the celiac test. I'm just hoping for a solid answer. Doesn't matter if I hope it's positive or negative. What I hope for won't influence the outcome. Just hoping for a non-tweener answer. And very happy to be done with the gluten challenge. Stopped taking it Saturday. Threw the rest of the VWG out yesterday.

And for my bigger revelation today. I keep thinking that I want to swim and bike, even though I can't erase a run from my schedule to fit it in. So on one hand I want to do these things, yet on the other a part of me says "I can't swim. I'm injured".

The F^CK I'm injured! Why do I keep telling myself that! I'm healed! OK, to be honest, I'm healing, as in present tense. But I can try swimming, I can bike. I have it in my head that "I'm injured". GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD! MOVE ON! You're down grading yourself for nothing!
