MON, 8/17/2015 HEALTH & NUTRITION

I am on my last day of a five day regimen of Ciprofloxacin HCL 500MG TAB.  I'm not sure if 5 days is enough.  The pain in my does seem less today, almost gone.  I can feel it, only if I press very hard.

SUN, 8/16/2015 TRAIL

I wasn't sure how I would feel today, so I planned to do a 2 1/2 mile run, but I felt pretty good, so added a trail.  I could feel my side, but I wouldn't describe it exactly as pain.  It felt like how I feel when I am about to get side stitches.  I surely didn't break any speed records, but I got it done.

Aug. 1st-15th REST

I was forced into a longer than expected break.  I scheduled to take August 1-7th off.  I figured that my body needed recovery after the hard month, and we went to Cabo San Lucas for 6 dasy.  Although I didn't run in Cabo, I walked a lot everyday around the enormous resort.  I did water aerobics and zumba, although I didn't exactly push it.

My plan was to run about 30 miles from August 9-15th.  My body had different plans.  Last Tuesday, I was incapacitated by serious stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea, etc.  I thought that I had food poisoning or possibly a virus from Mexico.  It got better, but when I finally went to urgent care, the doctor thought it was a bladder infection that might have spread to my kidneys  I haven't felt great this week, so I haven't run at all.  Everyday, I hope that my side won't be hurting, but everyday it hurts.  I will probability run tomorrow, no matter what.

Between August 1-15th, I've run once--the morning route.
