And I don't know if I really wanted to do this. I was sluggish, flat, no pep, nothing. My muscles were sore and tired during the run as if it was my first 6 miler and/or I was overworked - pained a bit and lifeless.
So let's break this down.
1. Nutritional deficiency? Well, the dairy I'm eating like all day is pushing things off my plate. So I already know that's gotta dial back. See below.
2. Sleep? Averaging 7.5 hours this week, so that's probably OK.
3. Hydration? I think it's low, given my BMs lately. Does cheese really constipate people? Work on this next few days (the water) because if it occurs to mind at the end of the day that you might not have had enough to drink, well, maybe you didn't.
4. Salt? Oh, I eat lots of that.
5. Stress? Oh, that too. Lots. Even after Monday. I think my stress will get better once I have a summer run and travel calendar finished. The blank calendar is on my desk, waiting for time to start on it.
More stress? I'm feeling overwhelmed again, so there's something somewhere.
I've decided to NOT do the Toledo marathon, or the half marathon. I'm not sure yet what I'm doing this weekend. Patrick suggested repeating the 20 miler, if I didn't do a race. So I'm thinking on it.
More on the dairy.
1. I'm not even enjoying it anymore.
2. Weight loss is stalled.
3. It's pushing other foods off my plate.
So the rule gotta be, one serving a day or recipe only. Because making a meal of mostly cheese is losing all around for me.
