I would like to qualify for Boston and complete a 100 mile race someday. I hope to run consistently for the rest of my life.

Personal:

Geologist, backcountry skier and hiker, cyclist, occasional rock climber, and yogi. I enjoy traveling, cooking, knitting, reading, music (learning the guitar and piano- and listening to a wide variety), and working on our house. 1 significant other, 2 dogs, 1 cat.

Noonish: 12 miles in ~12 min/mi avg pace. Min elevation: 8,214'; Max elevation: 8,711'; 1,345'gain/loss. Avg heart rate: 156, Max heart rate: 171. Really tried to keep heart rate under 160 and that was pretty tough on the uphill sections. At one point I think I was moving at ~22 min/mi avg pace. Wow.. but, maybe I need to run slow to run fast. Legs felt great despite the incident yesterday. Emptied the Nathan handheld water bottle by mile 10. It was cooler out, but still a little warm for my liking. The cold breeze felt good though. 

 I woke up hungry this morning (because I ate like crap yesterday) and opted for breakfast before the run. I made some scrambled eggs and homemade hash browns + coffee. I probably waited at least an hour before running to let my stomach digest a bit. However, this is now at least the 3rd or 4th time that I have run pretty soon after eating eggs and it is just no good for my stomach. I had cramps and heart burn almost the entire run. No good. When I got home from the run, I had 1 scoop Ultragen recovery.. 2 scoops always seems to turn my stomach a bit, and a full glass of water. I showered and then proceeded to prepare tasty things for dinner (we were having my aunt over). At any rate, maybe an hour or so after I had returned from the run, I felt incredibly dizzy and nauseated. I actually thought I may pass out, so I sat down and then I realized that I had not had any significant calories since I had returned and that we had skipped lunch. After eating some cheese and crackers, drinking another glass of water, sipping on some delicious iced coffee, and sitting for another 20 mins, I was back to 100%. This has happened to me a couple of times over the years, but I am not sure what I am doing (or not doing) to bring it on. Sometimes I can go for a much longer run (18-20 miles) on a piece of bread and a gu and not eat for hours afterwards and be totally fine. Weird to say the least. Definitely need to track these occurrences and see what I can do to eliminate them.
