| In Nederland with sideways snow and no goggles. Felt like Marla Runyan for a lot of the run. I don't know how she does it.

| Beautiful run with Cindy. Feeling a little off; tired, sore, slightly headachey. I think its because I have been stressing over finances and Aaron's business, and also because I didn't eat so well last weekend. Went on a two night retreat with some girlfriends in Nederland and didn't sleep or eat too stellar. At home I am gluten and sugar free pretty much all the time and so to go and eat gluten and sugar multiple times over the weekend really emphasizes the contrast in how I feel. Ugh. Time to detox.

I was glad I had Cindy there with me today because I would not have done a workout alone. At least 4 times I asked myself why I was willingly putting myself through such pain. Made me think about life and how I unwillingly go through pain that seems to wear me down. Yet there I was, willingly inducing pain by doing a speed workout knowing I'll be tired later today and possibly regretting it. This is the reason I haven't been racing for two years. Because I've had enough pain and/or struggle in my life to not want to seek out more just for kicks. And I still have plenty of stress with finances that makes me just want to lay down sometimes, but I have a goal to run the Bolder Boulder in May in somewhat decent shape, so I'm going to keep running even on the days I dont feel like it. I do have the hope that I will feel stronger and fitter after a few more weeks of doing workouts and maybe I'll be glad I did them.

| We must have had an ice rain storm last night because the path was covered in ice sheets. I ate it twice and felt like a rock star. Literally. My shoulder stayed in socket both times!

| 20 miles on my road bike. Three months until I ride the Little Red century with my sisters-in-law again. Gotta get some biking miles in before then. Today was a good day to bike since my foot was tight.

| Put some old tunes on my iPod yesterday. AWESOME. I love the memories that come with old songs.
Senior year in high school. Riding on a school bus to the start of the Foot Locker west regional cross country meet in Mt. Sac. Nerves, energy, chills, excitement and all!

| My warm up was a half mile jog with Ali in the Little Leprechaun run. Abe and Bre ran too. They were more excited about the free toy afterwards than the actual running.
In the 5K, I started out conservatively in 4th place and gradually picked up the pace as I warmed up. Ended up pushing myself moderately hard for the second half of the race, but it didn't feel like too much exertion. Apparently it was because I was in pretty severe bodily pain all day after the race. Bad headache, fatigue, weakness, brain fog, irritability, ect. Took a 2-hour nap later that afternoon. Really, I need a 2 hour nap after running a 5K? Come to think of it, this is how I felt after all five workouts I did to prepare for this race. I either need to workout less intensely and more consistenly or nix the workouts and the racing altogether. I think I'm going to see my Dr. again too.

| For some reason I felt extremely low today. I yelled at the wind but that didn't make me feel any better.

| Went to see a Natropath who was highly recommended by my friend. We went over my entire medical history and talked about current symptoms. She looked over some blood test results from one year ago and did lots of muscle testing, cranio sacral massage, and chiropractic adjustments. She found that I go weak on wheat and gluten, meaning I probably have an intolerance. I didn't go weak on sugar, interestingly, but I try to avoid cane sugar anyway because its so highly addictive for me. She also muscle tested me for lots of vitamins, toxins, and hormones. In the end she recommended a supplement for thyroid hormone support and high doses of Vit. D, After adjusting both of my ankle bones, and muscle testing me while standing on and off a thin orthotic, she encouraged me to start wearing orthotics again. Because of my high arches, orthotics have been recommended to me over the years by countless PTs, Chiros, Doctors, and shoe sales people, so I'm not suprised to hear it again. Looking forward to starting her recommendations and starting to feel better!

| I feel kind-of like an imposter here on the fast running blog because I'm only inconsistently running fast. I am going to take a little break from blogging. I may or may not be running, but if I do start running fast consistently again, I'll start blogging consistently too. Cheers!
