Suffer. Forward. RUN.

RUN 6 miles in 59 mins, ave HR 142, cad 171spm
COMMUTE 9.2 miles

I don't go slow do I? Here I am only 2 weeks out of the dog injury and already I'm pushing back-to-back-to-back days. Already? LOL, it's about damned time!

I was at 5+10 miles this morning, ended the morning at 21 miles. And I feel it. Hoooo tired. But not hurting or pained. This is how it should feel.

We had heavy rain storms overnight right up until 5am or so, but of course the whole gang was there to run. IT, BE, and EW. I held back and ran with EW. She did most of the talking while I tried to keep my HR low (not easy today). She's camping and kayaking this weekend. Then she walked CS Lewis until mile 3 ended. Then we switched over to....huh, can't remember. Then I told her about the races I'm planning, and she expressed concern that I'm doing too much too fast. Damned right I am! But I hear and acknowledge her concerns. I need to hear it, even if I don't want to. I need the outside view and opinion, and I trust these people.

Anyway, then we chatted until we came across an unleased dog on the trail bridge. Ugh, heart rate. Then EW talked about increasing her running to burn off the "wedding weight" all 5 pounds of it. Chatted about her room mate that had AN, then we were done. My effort and HR were high for this run, the fatigue is high. And I love it.

Went home with lots of bowel urge, even though I had biz before I left. It wasn't pretty, and was pained. And bloody? Walk the dog. Then again the urge, more painful even. Like concernedly painful. But not tinged this time. I've been suspecting the potatoes, this bad soft BM issue started right around when I added potatoes, but also with the antibiotics. Lately I've been eating a potato, rice, and oats (1 per meal) to see how it goes. But I need to keep experimenting?

Per suggestion by RM, I started listening to Lance Armstrong podcast, he uses the words "suffer" and "forward", Good words for now.

Tired the rest of the day, but not pained. Just tired. Like I should be :)
