Dear James, Daniel and Emily
Today's Run
Today was much better than Tuesday. Not that Tuesday was horrible in the grand scheme of things, I mean I made it to 5 miles, and if you had told me even a year ago that I would be irritated about how I finished a 5 mile run I would not have believed you. But there were 2 differences: got a better nights sleep, and ate a little differently yesterday (more on that in a bit). So today I was able to get to 5 miles under 50 minutes, and felt really good about it, could have kept running had I needed to.
I am confident that I will be ready for the 10K next weekend, and pretty confident that I will be able to handle the 10 mile in 3 weeks. And for the first time in a while I was really looking forward to today's run for some reason, not sure why, but I was excited about it, probably just eager to prove to myself that Tuesday was the aberration.
Diet
Well I have determined that the 4 Hour body diet is not for me, at least not 100%. Not because it wouldn't work, it would probably achieve exactly what I wanted. But I am starting to notice problems with my digestion. Things are not regular. And for a normal person they could probably deal with that for a couple of weeks. But given my diverticulosis, and my tendency to get blockages, and not wanting to repeat a trip to the ER, I need to change it up a bit. I just need a little more fiber than the diet provides, I thought that eating all those beans would take care of things, but they are not sufficient apparently.
So I will take elements of the diet, with it's emphasis on slow carbs, no sugars, and add in a little more whole grains. We'll see how that goes.
