Within/Without

Peace. All this week I have had 3 shitty runs. Real shitty. I can’t seem to put my finger on why they are ALL shitty. For the last month, they have been really wonderful. Is it my shoes? Is it the fasting? Hormones? I have no real idea. I get that some runs are going to be shitty and some aren’t. I don’t usually get a slew of all shitty ones. I am always trying to zoom on why the runs are bad vs. good. Let me detail it out…. I cannot run the distance I’m used to running. I had gotten back up to my 5k. But now a mile zaps my energy. There is no sweet spot. This may because of fasting, but I ran the 1st week of fasting with no problems. It actually aided my detox. I ran some last week… shark week… and was fine. I am carrying water and make sure to drink a smoothie 30 min before I head out. I haven’t noticed any cramping with that regimen. I am also having some serious calf tightness. The coach/7 said I’m not warming up properly. Well I NEVER warm up and I never had this problem bef...

Peace…… I got the 1st week down. I’m passed detox to the point where I’m not hungry at all really. To the people in my personal cipher who care to pay attention, I am a wonder. It kills me. The human body is capable of so much but we only challenge it but so far. Let me say this… I picked the absolute WORST time to fast. I will keep this in mind for subsequent fasts. I just wanted to be finished by/before the Asiatic New Year. I have so many other things that I am planning for after the fast. And winters aren’t what they used to be especially in Georgia so I wasn’t really concerned about the weather. What I should have been looking at was the calendar… My Calendar! I started my fast when PMS was beginning to rage. So there is a week of PMS and then 5 days of “shark week.” I set myself up to suffer. I find the best time for me to fast is right after my cycle passes or maybe on the last few days. I suffer for those 2 weeks with headaches, nausea, bloat, mood swings, etc. As healthy...
