Tuesday I was up at 4:23 to spend time with LA and not until 7:10 did I get to the run. I knew it could be a slog, and it was. I ended up walking sometimes!? I did a segment through the trails near the high school. I am tired, reading russian library books. I'm thankful my work commute is downhill, and wonder how much energy I'll have for the home commute and the gravel ride with Slava tonight. ETA - great energy! 

Wednesday I was supposed to go to the gym in the morning but the kids (Slava in particular) didn't go to sleep until 1am. Ugh. Rheumatology appointment today. Short kids bike to Dicken School. I was feeling so overfull with lots of abdominal pain. Did I eat too much, too fast?

Thursday I woke up with the same pains, now in my back and upper abdomen. Lots of "urge" but no output. This lasted most of the day, and I had quick fatigue and flat energy. But doing OK. My run was a slog that I almost delayed to see if I'd feel better on Friday. I walked at times! The bike ride home was a new test of Catherine St, but I didn't like it (I didn't plan it after Catherine street so ended up on Huron) and although I thought my energy was out I did OK riding home. Still having gut fullness-feeling and pain, yet ate the same again (too much or too fast or ...?). I went to bed with back pains, lower chest pain, muscle aches. I gotta pay more attention to what I'm doing for dinner.

I should note some changes here: I'm in day...5? of clean fasting as from the book I just read. I've been fasting and unhungry until 12-1pm. I've stopped dairy except for one yogurt a day (except the cheddar and parm I broke the rule on last night) and I've been hitting the azuc the last two nights. That's gotta stop! And M is now.... 5 days out? 

Weekend update. I did get a back to back run in as planned, but didn't get the 75 mins I'd hoped for. Just 45 mins for the second run. Next I'm reviewing the plan to know what I'm doing this week. Last week I was weak and fatigued, this week any better?

A road and cyclocross clinic. I learned dirty dismounts for cyclocross and did a "race" with Slava! I'm better at water bottle pick ups too. 

I missed the solstice on Tuesday. How? I'm so distracted. 

And IM CdA was 10 years ago. How? Where did the time go? Where did I go?
