I ran 1:24:00 on both Monday and Tuesday of this week. I think that I got food poisoning from something and I had very runny bowels on Wednesday and today. Since my achilles has still been feeling off (sometimes painful, but mostly just stiff), and in general I have been feeling tired I decided to scale back my workouts a lot in order to try and let the achilles recover, get over the food poisoning, and try to eliminate the fatigue. As a result, I only ran for about 10 minutes yesterday, and today I only ran for about 30 minutes. I felt like today's run was pain free, which was nice.
I am trying different things to see what helps with the fatigue. I am going to try to see if I can adjust my bedtime routine to make my sleep more restful (I don't think this is really a problem per se, but I figure it can't hurt). I am also going to try to up my water intake, and I am looking into trying out some supplements as I wonder if I have some sort of vitamin deficiency.
