Moving with Purpose

Its hotter than i expected and should not have worn a tshirt. I felt ok for the most part until the last half mile it started hurting, probably bc i was overheating and pushing to get done. I have the chocolate challenge 5k Saturday. My goal was to race to beat last year and place in my age group again, not sure if Ill be able to push push. The guess speedwork tomorrow will be an indicator as to how hard i can push. My endoscopy and upper gi series tests are next week. So for now I do what i can. Miles & Macros, LLC

Sunday long run ✔️. Very minimal stomach issues today and I didn’t have to walk once and negative splits after mile 2. It felt good to feel good running. I almost felt like myself. Miles & Macros, LLC

Saturday run done ☑️

Speedwork inside today went well. I wasn’t in to much discomfort. Warm up, 4 float sprints (i did two track laps worth), 3x 6% incline 60s on/60s off, 45s on/off, 30s on/2 min rest, cool down

I did the bare minimum inside today. Dripping sweat in front of a fan. Im guessing this is what hell feels like. Miles & Macros, LLC

This sucks. I hate feeling slow. I hate feeling like Im losing what ive been building. I know i have to go slower. My legs feel absolutely fine and strong. I know im in a season of struggle right now because my stomach but it hurts my brain. I tried to really slow down tonight to pay attention to breathing slowly and it helped the first two miles or so and then i started feeling hotter and breathing harder and it went downhill from there. Ugh

First session of speedwork Wednesday with Miles & Macros, LLC in the books. We has a mile time trial. I forgot to stop my watch bc my stomach was in so much pain when i was done. It was about 8:56? I forget what Jared said lol. With warm up, two float/sprint laps, mile time trial and cool down about 3.25 done. I’m paying for pushing now, might be a rough night 🫣.

That was a painful run with my stomach/esophagus bloat/burning. 😭 Not sure how I’m going to survive speedwork that starts back tomorrow.

The trails and i didn’t like each other today. This was all I managed before i said screw this and went and sat on the dock with my feet in the water waiting for dave to finish. Hot, muggy and the damn bugs were insane.

At 730 it already felt 80. The heat definitely makes it harder on my stomach and esophagus. Pushing thru the best I can and pulling back when I need. Ive cut all caffeine out after reading that its a trigger for acid production etc. Today is day 4. But run done! Not pretty but done.
