Ran today. Not much to report. It was 60°F, sunny, bit of a breeze. Perfect for running. Tank top and shorts weather. Woohoo! (Don't forget the sunblock, kids.) When I got to the track, two guys were there playing with their dogs. (I think it’s a law in Oregon that you have to have Labrador Retrievers. That’s all anybody has around here. Yellow. Black. Chocolate. One or the other, all three, two of each, etc.)
Thankfully, the dudes and their dogs left before I was done with my warm up walk. The runs were pretty easy and recovery was quicker than ever. It’s just that I still feel really heavy. Sluggish. Blehhhh. I’m going to be a chick and blame it on PMS. I’ve been eating like crap and stuffing my face all week.
My calves didn’t burn at all while I ran, either. I think I would have felt a lot better during the whole thing if my horrendous rib pain hadn’t come back. I’m more than a little concerned about it, so this week I’m definitely going to the Free Day at the local hospital. They take emergency cases first, but I really don’t have any other options. I’m having trouble sleeping and I can’t take deep breaths. Could I seriously have somehow broken a rib? I can’t think of what else could cause this kind of pain.
Anyway. The run went pretty well, all things considered. The weather promises to be absolutely gorgeous this entire week, so it’s back to my regularly scheduled programming (Tues, Thurs, Saturday runs).
For breakfast this morning I had a berry flavored Whole Food Energy Bar. I stole them from my sister a couple of days ago. They kind of taste like feet, but oh well. I gotta eat something. No idea what I'm doing for lunch or dinner.
See you on Tuesday.

Sounds like the running is agreeing with all parts of your body except your rib! I hope you are able to get it checked out and that it turns out not to be broken.
I've been eating like crap all weekend--I curse the day I learned how to make buttercream frosting! I used to be able to eat homemade cuppers without frosting, but now frosting is required!
I've been having motivation troubles, but I think I've found a training plan that I feel comfortable with. I hope to be blogging more regularly this week.
Keep on working out!
