Training 9/30-10/6

9/30- 1 mile at Montreat in 8:42.  That's down from 12:30 the previous day.  Not the least bit excited.
Distance=1.0

10/1- AM- 1 mile at Montreat.  Improved to 8:24 with a negative split.  1st half- 4:21, 2nd half-4:03.

PM- 3 miles at Montreat again.  Finished in 24:57 (8:19 pace).  This time, I was out faster but could not hold it (8:05-8:25-8:27).  Legs had no power at all.  Stiff as a board.
Distance=4.0

Juice Plus arrived yesterday and it's likely a non-factor.  I'll finish the bottle and probably be done with it unless I notice a big difference 2 months from now.  3 options left: Trust the detox process, see a conventional doctor, get the implant removed.  As for option 3, I have ordered a hair test kit but I need to let it grow for a few weeks.  If Titanium comes back high, it's a viable option.

10/2- Unplanned rest day.  Can't run at all.  Culprit this time is an adrenal spike.  YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

10/3- AM- Hated interval workout at Montreat.  3x1 lap:
Low dose TRS- 3:51 (11:33 pace)
2 Thym-Adren- 3:18 (9:54 pace)  MINUS 99
Extra TRS- 3:03 (9:09 pace) MINUS 45
  I must be cautious with the Thym-Adren.  If taken too much for too long, I will relapse again in the opposite direction.  I'll go down to 1 pill tomorrow then quit.  Good news is that extra TRS provided a definite boost.  Mega doses are my only chance to get below the Mendoza line.  Damn the costs.

PM- 3 miles at Gold's in 26:55 (8:58 pace).  Adrenal spike is beginning to calm down a bit.  Pace was steady right around 9 all the way.
Distance=4.0

10/4- 3 miles at Gold's in 25:21 (8:27 pace).  MINUS 31 but I was really hoping for better than this.  In my frustration, I binged on caffeine.  It was only a 1 time slip but I paid the price.
Distance=3.0

10/5- AM- ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!  Took me nearly 12 minutes to run 1 mile.  Interestingly, I was better after drinking lots of water.  I was better by the evening and broke 27 for 3 miles.
Distance=5.0

10/6- Lakeshore 5 in 48:36 (9:44 pace).  Not pleased.
Distance=6.0

-23 miles on the week.
