I did three easy miles this morning just to get the legs moving. I also ran plugged in, which I haven't done in years.
This afternoon the plan was to run the 4 mile time trial tempo since I missed it last week. I warmed up and my left knee felt kinda tight but nothing too bad. I started and could tell that my stomach was not happy that I couldn't run 4 miles hard without pooping, so I only did two miles of tempo/time trial. My first mile was 5:21 and the second one was 5:24. I am definitely in way better shape than a year ago, so hopefully I can run some good times once the season comes. I was also on pace to run just faster than Landon did, which I think would be the fastest ever by a Titan.. Oh well. I easy fartleked the last two miles and then did a half mile cooldown. I did run into Trace Fifield and talk to him for a few.
I think the huge gastrointestinal problems today was a combination of the holidays and the fact that I ate pasta last night along with lots of oranges and pistachios over the past few days..
