PM: 5 slow miles on the Treadmill too soon after dinner. I came down with a head cold today, but I dont think it affected me that much. Warning, the following is PG rated....
In other news, I went to the doc today to discuss my diverticulitis I had last year and to discuss why I have the squirts so much lately too. I get it pretty bad 2-3 times a week with it getting worse with stress or a difficult run. The general theory is that since it is mostly running induced it could be something simple, like being dehydrated in the mornings before and during my runs causing my blood flow to drop and leave the intestines lacking. A low thyroid could do this too. I ran some blood work and hopefully that will tell us something when we get the results back. Another theory is that I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and that is causing the problem. Some stool samples (yet to be taken) will rule out giardia or parasites or things like that. Other theories needed further testing (read Colonoscopy) before diagnosing it. I got some meds for the IBS so I can experiment with that to see what happens. Tomorrow, I will try the hydration theory first. Needless, to say, my runs have been eventful for a few months now (even since TOU) and its time to figure it out. What a crappy deal....
