I need to find a good multivitamin.  This weird diet thing just isn't cutting it for me nutrients wise.  I'm feeling really tired pretty much all the time.  Off to the store I shall go!  I will say that I've felt better the past four days than I have for a really long time now, so something is obviously working.

Did another barefoot run, I've decided they're my new favorite.  My heels don't hurt, my calves don't hurt, and my tailbone is less tight, which helps my knees.  And, I got another milestone today-I did a 5k in less than 30 minutes!  Yippee!  Did .25 mile warm up, ran 1.75 miles at 6.5 mph, then slowed it down a little every couple of laps until I hit 3.5 miles, then did a .5 mile cool down.  Kept the incline at 2 except for the last lap of the cool down.  Total time was 40:01.

The weather won yesterday.  I did less than nothing-and it felt good!  Didn't really commit to the run today, but at least I finished it.  Did .25 mile warm-up, ran 1.5 miles at 6.5 mph, then I can't remember.  I know I jogged at at least .75 miles, then walked the rest of it???  That sounds about right.  I did keep the incline at a 2.  Total time was 43:06.

Talked to the GI's office yesterday.  They said all my blood work was normal, which is good.  I guess they did a lot of testing for vitamin deficiencies, so I'm glad that's not an issue.  Sooo, they've postponed the fun tests for me.  For now they just want me to stick to the IBS diet for a month, then add one food a week to isolate what is giving me the most problems.  In the meantime, I'm going to do a lot of research into recipes and snacks that should be okay for me to have.  It looks like to get rid of my issues is going to require a total change towards food.  I have discovered that dairy is no longer my friend.  :((((((((((

Today felt MUCH better in the running department.  I was a lot more focused and felt like I found my groove.  Did .25 mile warm-up, jogged just under 3 miles, then did a cool down.  I kept the incline at 2 still.  Total time was 32:46.  I even did a sprint at the end for .15 miles.  Go me!

Don't have a lot of time today and my legs are feeling really funky, so I kept to a brisk walk the entire time today.  I mostly just wanted to get things loosened up so I could do a really deep stretch and see if that helps my legs.  I did keep the incline at 2.  Total time was 32:25.
