Urban Runner

This is my blog. I live, work and run in the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I'm a regular 9 to 5er trying to find out what he can do with his running.

When I'm not running I've been known to enjoy the odd cup of coffee.

Traveling a bunch ...

I've been in Minneapolis all week on a last minute trip for work. I've run just not a lot this week.

Lake Placid was interesting. I arrived there just in time to get sick. First time in a long time. Not much fun. Some sort of Stomach / Intestinal bug.
- On the Saturday I did run, just not the scheduled two hours as I hadn't been able to eat anything.
- I ended up doing my long run Tuesday night after I got back which worked out fine.

Tuesday/Wednesday after Lake Placid I had good runs.

Thursday home again sicker than a dog. Same thing. Obviously what ever went through my system wasn't gone.

By Saturday I was feeling okay again. I ran both Saturday and Sunday as scheduled.

Monday through today I've been in Minneapolis as noted. I've run each morning here but just straight runs. Today I head home. No planned trips after this (personal or work).

There is some good news out of this bug that went through me. On my run last Saturday I felt the same as I had on race day here in May. Same symptoms in that I wasn't able to take in much of my SP3 mixture and felt somewhat unsettled. I had good size breakfast about four hours before the run and it was obvious that it had not digested. I strongly suspect this was the same pattern in May.

If I experienced this last Saturday and in May there must be a common link. It may be worthwhile to talk to my doctor. Alternatively it may be a food allergy of some sort.
