Laid Low

I wish I could blame the nor 'easter that hit last weekend on my lack of training but seeing as I live in the SW, all I have to blame is my blasted body which I am firmly convinced is staging some kind of revolt against me.

Beginning Friday my stomach started to get bloated and gurglely. I went on a easy 90 minute spin on the bike with a buddy but my body would have perfered to have been on another kind of seat. I pretty much spent the next 48 hours on the couch trying to not to move since that caused all kinds of cramping and thoughts of that other kind of seat. I had to cancel the Saturday swim and the Sunday brick. Man I wanted that brick. I may have been able to do it but I was dehydrated and under nourished by Sunday morning. However by Sunday night I relapsed and it kept my up for an extra two hours so I guess I get credit for holding back the training.

My stomach still dosen't feel right but I am going to attempt the Sunday brick today. 40 mile ride and 13 mile run.

Mistress is looking into finding me a gastrointestinal doctor since this has occured off and on for several years. I started the process by looking into food allergies a couple weeks ago but everything came back negative.

I am positive this will pass and things will be sorted out. I only missed two day of training that I should be able to make up this week. I have to get some road miles under me since I have a century plus coming up this weekend.
