Still feeling pretty blah.  I go see a GI doctor on Wednesday.  I'm almost hoping they just decide to take my gallbladder out.  I'm so done with stomach issues.  Did a .25 mile warm-up, jogged 2 miles, walked .25 miles, jogged .5 miles, and did a .5 mile cool down.  I did an incline of 2 the entire time, and even upped it to 3 for part of the cool down.  Total time was 38:45.

Lately I've been feeling about as good as the weather.  BLAH!!!  My tailbone is getting really tight and I think it's from all the incline stuff.  One of these years I'll actually make it back to the chiropractor again-I hope.  I tried out the barefoot running today and it didn't hurt my feet nearly as much as it has in the past.  Hopefully I'll start incorporating it into my routine at least once a week moving forward. 

Today I just did whatever floated my boat at the time.  I THINK it was something like .5 mile walk, jogged 2 miles, walked .25 miles, jogged .5 mile, then did a .5 mile cool down.  I kept the incline at 2 the entire time.  Total time was something around 46:30.

I think I'm catching on to the whole barefoot running thing.  I started off with my good running shoes on and almost immediately my heels started hurting.  I was curious to see if it was the shoe or me so I took my shoes off.  My heels didn't hurt at all the rest of the run.  Interesting....

I didn't have as much time as usual, so I tried pushing myself to see if I could get some speed going.  I think I did pretty good.  I kept the incline at a 2 and got the speed up to 6.5 mph for a little more than .5 mile.  it felt really good too!  yeah!!!!  Total time was 26:03.

I'm really feeling back in the exercise thing this week.  I met with the GI doctor yesterday and he's doing a bunch of blookwork and some not fun for me tests to see what's going on.  While we're doing that, I'm on a weird diet in my opinion.  Basically everything healthy, raw, and fresh is off the table for the next month.  No bran, fiber, whole grains, fruits, veggies, etc.  Basically I get white, processed flour, sugar cereals, and other carbs.  The only meat I'll eat is egg whites and broiled, skinless chicken.  No seasonings or anything.  Should be an interesting month.  I figure I'll either gain a bunch of weight or lose a bunch of weight.  As long as I feel better, I don't really care at this point.

Today's run was .25 mile warm-up, 1 miles at 6.5 mph, then every lap I went down a notch on the speed.  At the end I did .5 cool down.  Total time was 41:06.

Wasn't feeling the groove as much today-I think I spent most of the day dreaming of going back to bed.  Walked .75 miles, ran .75 miles, then walked the rest of the time.  I did keep the incline at 2 except for the last lap.  Total time was 31:06
