I'm not consistent

Thursday - complete rest
Friday RUN 1 mile (treadmill) + 2.5 miles (treadmill still)
     STRENGTH Push A about 30 minutes

I haven't been commuting. It's cold. I'm tired. The last week of 27.9 miles and 8:45 hours of training really must have knocked me back. Is that it?

Yesterday I was completely wore out. Tired. Wanted to cry/emotional. Flat mental and physical energy. My chest was swollen and pained. I took LA to the airport and the rest of the afternoon I had what I'm guessing was IBS pains in my lower gut. Awful. Hurt to move, walk, sit, anything. They came and when without explanation. As they usually did. 

I watched Hamilton Trained "is your metabolism broken" youtube on the second run this morning. He said if the following are true, then "it's NOT your metabolism":
    1. You don't count and log every bite, every lick, every taste
    2. You are consistent, not 80% not 85% but 100% consistent
    3. You don't move as much as you think you do.

Oooh, I'm not #1 or #2, but I start most every day that way - counting and over the course of the day especially in the M3 range I fall apart with it. 

My meeting with him is next Tuesday, and I'm starting a list of All The Things - the questions and answers and problems and thoughts and goals. Notes to keep me on track.

I want someone to do the thinking for me. I want a plan that I can follow that works.
