No strength this week? Didn't I do strength on Monday? I think I did. 

Tuesday LA wanted to run, so we did a run to the Greenview Park, some walking, relaxing. Wednesday for some reason I was back on the treadmill for speedwork. Felt awesome!

Later Wednesday wasn't so awesome. I ate my eggs early at 11am (6 whites, 4 yolks, tomato, avocado) and by 1pm I started having RUQ pain. I thought it was that I ate too much, then I thought I wore out my back in the run, then I thought it was a gas bubble. I had a flow cytometry assay to run, and my denial of a problem was strong. But LA told me to go to the ER once I was done at work, so I did. I was there 7pm-3am!! The ultrasound showed "significantly distended" but no visible gall stone. The bloodwork was normal, apparently no infection or obvious signs. Then they start talking surgery!? This was followed by one more test to make a better decision, the HIDA scan after the morphine seemed to have the obstruction cleared - so no surgery immediately. But maybe still in the future?

Thursday I slept in and rested. I was still in mild pain with lots of "gut upset" (bloating, pain, super queasy) and kinda weakened from pain and stress. It ended with M and PB and queso. But not too much, but enough. 

Friday I woke up to snow and needed to "make up" for not running Thursday as planned. But I'm still weak and queasy, but 4.5 miles in my Stadium Loop. Friday night we start driving to Missouri, overnight in Greenup, arrive 8am for exchange.  

Sunday, I’d told myself I wanted 4.5-7.5.  I chose the hotel treadmill in case the others woke up. The fitness room was cramped, but I was pleased to not have a tv screen blocking my view. The first goal came and went, the second one came and went, and I knew I wanted the full 8. I got it! Felt great, no issues but happy. 

I’m happy that I worked my schedule to balance the long runs, that I got up early today to get this run, that k was willing to change the mileage if needed, and that even though I’m feeling sick I still got it all. In the end, it was 33.5 I think!
