Standard early morning run this morning, 7.5M in chilly weather (40 degrees) so I wore long sleeves, gloves and a light vest. Overall a decent early run at around a 7:45ish pace. Will try to get 7-8M at lunch today pending no stomach issues today!

Stratos 2 - 106 miles

10.15M on a beautiful day at lunch. Nice and easy conversational paced run (7:07) with my buddy Pat, where talked all kinds of things from business travel to collegiate runners. Overall a really nice run, except my intestinal issues were gurgling from mile 4 on, never enough to stop but enough to feel it. I wonder if my bowl of cereal every morning and the milk associated with it is now not agreeing with me?

Stratos 1 - 109 miles

Did you change your breakfast?

From jtshad on Sep 05, 2008 at 15:12:52

Nope, pretty much the standard big bowl of cereal and coffee. It hit mostly in the morning to early afternoon. Even my lunch/dinner choices are pretty normal (with 2 kids, you only have so many options they will eat!).

Nice run! Hope you get the intestinal issues straighten out. Trying some different things might be a way to figure it out. Also, sometimes these things just disappear as quickly as they start so hopefully that will be the case.

Looks like you are still running well. I am doing St. George again. Are you doing Twin Cities?

From jtshad on Sep 08, 2008 at 09:51:45

James, yep I am running TCM on Oct. 5 and am rooming with Logan while we are there. Hope to snag a top 10 spot in the Master's championship race and am targeting a 2:35.

What are you shooting for at SGM? Running with the 2:30 group?
