I woke up this early this morning not being able to keep down an ounce of liquid.  Knowing how much energy I spent yesterday running the stairwell, I knew it was going to be an exceptionally long recovery process unless I was able to get some IVs in me.  As a result, I head to the hospital where they informed me I was suffering from server dehydration.  After three liters of IV, I was much better!  I spent most of day in bed resting, but I was able to get out for a 2.2 mile jog over to Big Cottonwood Park, three laps around the softball complex, and back. 

For my non-running workout, after recovering most of the day, I did get in 300 sit-ups.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge:  needless to say, temporarily on pause

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge:  again nothing

Made to work today to keep my Cal-Ripken streak alive for at least another day!  Actually, really not sick, but just need food, but I know I have to be patient with working myself back on solid food.  Following work headed home and out for an evening run up to Saint Marks Hospital and back by way of Big Cottonwood park for a total distance of only 2.2 miles; that is, even though I’m feeling much better, I’m just lacking energy.

I was able to achieve 300 sit-ups for my non-running workout.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge:  will start this back up when I have more energy

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge:  nothing again

I hit the treadmill after work for a 2.2-mile easy pace run before catching the bus home.  After I got home, I ran over to Mill Creek Elementary and back for a distance of an even 3.0 miles.  I’m still feeling really slow and sluggish today.

My non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge:  will start this back up at the end of the week

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge:  fruit smoothie (always seem to do the trick when I’m under the weather)

After a busy day at the office, I hit the treadmill for an even 3.0 miles before heading off to return some books to the library.  I jogged 1.4 miles from the center of downtown to the Library then to 900 East to catch the bus home.  In summary, it was just another recovery day from my bout with dehydration.

For my non-running workout, I was another day of 300 sit-ups.

Following work, I hit the treadmill for 1.7 miles at an easy pace before heading out to enjoy the perfect running weather with a run 4.5-mile jog from the International Center to the airport and back.  Overall, I’m starting to regain my strength.

In regards to my non-running workout, I was just able to get in 300 sit-ups.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge:  will start up this challenge again tomorrow

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge:  a serving a green beans

After a completing a busy week at work, I hit the treadmill for 13.3 miles at a relatively easy pace, but I continued to increase the pace throughout the workout.  My joints were a little bit sore, so I'm thinking I probably had a minor case of the flu which assisted on bringing about my dehydration.  However, I’m starting to get back my stride and I’m feeling much better.  I really just need to concentrate on eating more and more then I'll gain back my energy. 

My non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 20 (50 lbs) curls.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge: two 1:00 (working my way back)

Early this Saturday morning, I jogged 3.35 miles down to the Salt Lake Running Company for a group run.  Since I was a little bit behind schedule this morning, the gang had already left and it took me a little over a mile to catch up with them.  We completed three laps around Liberty Park before returning to the store.  The total distance of this run was an even 8.0 miles at a relatively easy pace (7:26 minutes per mile).  I then jogged the 3.35 miles back to home before commencing my CFA studies.
