New Restricted Diet
In simple terms, Thursday, doc put me on a mostly glutton-free diet to control inflammation and help me breath better.
This is going to be hard, as it’s only been three days, and I’m already having serious withdrawal But I’m dedicated to improving my overall health as much as I can so that I can maximize the potential I DO have, and not feed the respiratory issues that limit me.
I also learned my body has been producing too much yeast due to excessive sugar consumption. I’ve been given a drug to take for 5 days to eliminate this issue.

5K time trial #5 - 21:25 pushed the envelope again. New Treadmill time trial PR and with sore-ass squat legs. Time chill before I chase a A group seed on Saturday at an Acworth 5K. Need 23:01, shooting for 22:30

5K time trial #4 - Not the fastest to date, but the effort level was far less than expected. 22:18. This is all I need for a A group qualification at the peachtree road race. #feelinggood

Mountain Mist 50K. My 2nd slowest time at Mist, 7:35. I think I was #224 out of 287 runners, so considering where I am in my recovery and rebound, I’ll take it.

5K time trial #3 …21:47*, and completely shocking to me. Wasn’t actually too terribly difficult until 2.3 miles in. Then, I started to get a little “swimmy”
For whatever reason, my iPhone did not register the picture after I took it. I’m bummed because I log this stuff as a progress gauge. The image above is the negative split pace sheet I followed. It’s targeted to 22:00, so I ran each split just a little faster to ensure a sub-22.

10K trial #4 - vast improvement, but I’m pretty sure I’ll have to hover here for awhile. The first 3 miles are more challenging than the second because of my breathing issues, but once I settle in, things get pretty good.

This is the second time I’ve shot this 10-mile loop for time during this new training cycle.

Last time, 1:42+
Continued progress.
