A few rest days

Thursday BIKE COMMUTE 9.4 miles
Friday BIKE COMMUTE ~2.5 miles
     PT with JH

Keto flu from my carni keto experiment? Recovery from back-to-back running Tues and Weds? Laziness? Whatever I call it in the end, it's done. I had ever good intention of swimming this week, haven't seen the pool except on Tuesday when it was closed for maintenance. Tomorrow, right? I can swim tomorrow.

My carbs are down to pretty much incidental -- less than 20g total carbs and maybe a wee bit more were I to count the kombucha tea. Today (Friday) is much better than yesterday in terms of cognitive clarity and motivation. I've been chatting with Dr Ravi -- a T1 ultrarunner doing a vegetarian LC test for a year (super cool with biometrics and tests and more!) -- and this keeps me thinking about what I'm doing and expecting.

I'm only a few days into the experiment, still eating a little avocado and some greens but not everyday. I've been mentally craving something like yogurt or cream cheese -- soft and cold and fatty -- but I don't let myself buy it so that's easy! It's a weekend purchase only. Also Thursday was 600 days NSNG, I'm 210 days keto, 60 days no M (that's totally the best), and will maybe start a carni keto clock, but more likely I'll just roll into it.

Met with JH today, jokes about problems at work (I now know why my assay wasn't working, turns out it was in fact working I was just given bad starting information). Some new exercises still working on core and upper body. Then I asked permission (is that the best word?) to "run" the Firecracker 10K or 5K next Weds. Answer is YES if I know I can stick to a walk/run and walk-the-hills strategy. YAY!!

I ran this 10K in 2014 in 43:13, I think it's my 10K PR. TH was there, and will be this year too. I joked with JH about signing up under a false name, haha.  He suggested something like Jeff Lytle in honor of the two voices on my shoulder while I'm running. HEE!!
