So what do I do now

BIKE 80 mins and 20 miles, 16:39, 16:14, 15:57
COMMUTE in morning rain 9.2 miles

Woke up feeling OK but flat again, and yet turned out a great ride. How much of this is mental?

BE back from seeing new grandbaby and me fresh off a weekend of no running. I was surprised by the first interval time, usually we're closer to 17. The goal for the last one was to "crack 16". Crack it, we did!

Conversations of baby, They Called the Wind Mariah (a song in his Muny tonight!), Hedy Lamar and Danica something movies in his Amazon box of books and DVDs, and the usual more.  There was something along our usual lines of "how did we get here" but I can't recall it at the moment. The convo just flows, natural and fast.

Dry ride, but by the time I left for work it started to rain. But not much, enough to get wet but not soaked. Hopefully my gear dries before the ride home.

Regarding the title, yesterday I looked at whether a functional medicine doctor is my next best bet. Going out to restaurant with Lev, who doesn't know my story and I'm telling him first-time all-new makes me realize how limited I am. I'm not unhappy about it, but I don't feel good either.

Functional medicine as I'm reading it seems too woo-woo for me. Aromatherapy, coping counseling on some sites. Others IgG and IgA testing, stool samples, more, and that's where I'll continue to research. But maybe after the race.

I keep saying I'm going to do "something" but don't want to do it in race season. But what would I change? That's where I'm stuck, I don't know what do to next. I'm paralyzed by information.

Do I think it's a gut thing? Hormones, immune system, mental, toxicity? Ugh. I think gut thing, maybe bleeding into an immune thing. It's not "immune" as in allergy. Well thinking it though, what about the "celiac" problem that keeps circling around. Again, ugh.
