Bailed on ScottW last night because I started puking, and thought I had the flu that's been going around. I felt a lot better after throwing up, but glad I held off since I woke up feeling wrecked (just dehydration headache etc).
Decided to sneak out for a run since it's such a warm, sunny afternoon. REALLY didn't want to do CC, but since it was on my way back from church in Draper and I only had 15 miles til my fuel was empty (and I didn't bring a wallet) proximity was a big issue. :) Apparently the trails are in good shape still and all the mountain bikers know- had to have passed more than 20, wouldn't be surprised if it was over 30. Again, I'm promising I won't go back there til it's covered in snow. On a high note, I did see a mountain biker almost hit a deer. HA! Funniest thing ever. I almost felt bad for busting a gut at his surprised face as he slammed his brakes and missed the deer by an inch (and the two bikers behind him that crashed into him). I was on the other side of the deer on the trail, and saw the deer before it decided to dart across the trail. Bloody. Brilliant.
In other news... I know pound-wise I haven't lost a ton of weight (to be concerned about) but for my body size it's a lot... I'm down 7.5% of my body weight now in the last 4 weeks. While I don't mind my new and sudden stomach definition, I'm a bit concered about the sudden loss (especially since I'm not trying, and my miles are down.)
Oh, and after a fantastic 10 minute crying session (for no apparent reason other than my glycogen stores are down) I cheered myself up by inventing a "marathon of summits." It'd be a fun hard day with driving between the peaks. Starting at VB, then Mt Olympus, then Grandeur, then Wire. They're all doable trails with snow AND their mileage adds up to almost a perfect marathon. This is now slated for a wednesday. I shouldn't do this Wednesday (my glycogen stores are crap and I'm sick of my body eating itself... but no promises) and the week after I'll be in St.G, but the first Wed of Dec sounds prime.
