RUN 6.5 miles in 60 mins
BIKE COMMUTE 9.5 miles
Ran with BillS today and got my much needed catch-up on website and communications for the Club. I kept toying with the idea of getting an alias FB account for my coordinatorship, he says don't. But at the same time he admitted that peeps like me make his life harder. Humph. Not at all my intention!
Great day otherwise, feeling tired. Decided to plan a gluten challenge with TV's help. Not fully committed, but in planning mode. Can still back out.
Yesterday I did my first at-home PT exercises. Lying on the left side and lifting my forearm hurts my shoulder, lifting my left forearm off the ground lying on my tummy is limited, and the external rotation while standing is limited. I know I gotta start somewhere, guess I have my baseline!
Finally getting around to my annual printed blog book. Such a frustrating platform to use, it drags the process out.

Getting back on track after yesterday
RUN 6 miles in 54.5 mins, just over 9 m/m pace
BIKE COMMUTE 9.5 miles
Now I'm not trying to characterize yesterday as a bad day or a failure, but it was my goal this morning to avoid the tired and cold, upset and anxious feelings I had most of yesterday. Was it the appt in the middle of the day throwing off my schedule? Sometimes it sure seems that way.
Yesterday it started with an over-fruity pre and post run, did that set me up for mood/energy swings and cravings the rest of the day? I was terribly unsatisfied after brekkie, to the point I was late for work because I just kept munching.
Also once my tummy is upset, my anxiety goes up and for some reason I think about food more?! Doesn't make sense, I guess I kinda dread the next meal?
Doing better today, although I ate some chocolate brittle from the bakery :) Couldn't bring myself to throw it out.

First PT appt for shoulder
RUN 4.5 miles in about 41 mins
No bike commute today, had to drive in for PT appt. The run was great, hate to say a little boring? I was going to run 6 miles but my tummy was not cooperating, waited and waited for...nothing...so I was running late.
Then the rest of the day just seemed off. Ended at night with dinner in which Blerch won all points. Nuts.
As for the PT appt, she found muscle wasting in infraspinatus, pectoris minor, supraspinatus, maybe a few others. But the pattern didn't fit anything she could really define. She called it a puzzle. Tired of being a puzzle.
Was frustrating to see how weak the arm is. But good to set a baseline and get working on it!

No training, just typing
BIKE COMMUTE 9.5 miles
I signed up for the FBR 10K and the Berryman 50M. Also scoping other races as prep and fun events. Damn these races are expensive!
Looking at the Poto 30M :) Of course, right?!

Tested my new run commute
RUN 10 miles in 1:32. First 4.5 in 42 mins.
I'm really looking forward to getting my long run Wednesday back in the schedule, but I need to test routes and times. This will be at a minimum a 9 mile run, I got some extra today by weaving around TGP and the Grove. All felt good, no pains or problems. Another day of running into a cold-ish headwind then warming up on the way home.
Listened to TJM and was inspired to plan ahead to another 10x10 challenge as a RECOVERED week. The podcast ended with the last song to be added to my 2015 songlist (even though I heard it in 2016) because it goes right along with my Fit and Vicious t-shirt. This played as I was running through TGP, the beat was perfect and got me going.

Tummy test with 6 miles
RUN 6.5 miles in 60 mins
My tummy held up good, yesterday I couldn't even jog across the street with the doggie!
I ran west to TGP and did a simple loop. Happily I can still keep TGP in my "6 miler" pattern like I did from the previous house!
The weather was pleasant, ran into the wind outbound then got a little warm on the homebound. No complaints!
My hip feels good, my shoulder feels weak. And by the end of today it ached, but not sure why.

Welcome to 2016!
I did NOTHING!
My stomach still recovering from a week of traveling. So I rested :)
Don't have solid goals yet for 2016, but here's what I'm thinking.
A 50 miler in May, hopefully the Berryman.
More ultras as prep races and fun races, like the 6hr Dark to Dawn race.
Maybe the four 70.3 triathlons in Illinois?
A race close to home, maybe the Potawatomi 30M again.
Get healthy. Healthier anyway. My health problems abound but most are under some sort of control. Need to work out the diet, bone issues, and shoulder problem. The hip think is done and over.
I haven't been in the pool in about a year. My poor Frea has been racked since B2B in Oct 2014. I'm itching to get back to it!
