Well, despite the fact that I'm still not keeping anything in for very long, the doctor has given me a "green light" for training. Back to the grind. Tuesday afternoon I attempted a three mile run and felt pretty well (until I finished). Went for blood work after the run with hopes of getting some answers. Today was an 8 mile run in Chapel Hill to see how my body would react. The run was good, it felt good to be out there, but my body is just running low on fumes/energy. Thursday will either be a 3 mile recovery run or just a recovery day of NO running, depending on how much food (if any) can stay in me tonight. Meeting with a specialist in the afternoon, so hoping to figure something out sooner than later.
Friday and Saturday will be fairly easy days so as to save enough energy for Sunday morning's half marathon. I haven't had a problem holding onto my weight, but this week it's been tough. I'm sure it's okay for me to dip below 120 lbs, but I haven't ever thought I should, now I find myself struggling to maintain it. Might need to be more creative with supplements, like the stuff they give in the nursing homes--Ensure anyone? It's the energy level I'm most concerned about, no food equals low energy and poor running.
But, I'm happy to be out running again, it's my happy place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
