9/9- After a break, I wasn't expecting much. Aimed for just 1 mile under 10 minutes and clocked a 9:55. I was behind pace until the last half lap. A late rally got me under the barrier.
Tried Zinc and Probiotics later that evening. Zinc was a non factor. Probiotics? Slightly better but not enough to be significant. I'll go without them.
Distance-1.5
9/10- Increased the distance to 1.5 on Lakeshore. Finished in an even 14-flat (9:20 pace). Better than yesterday so I will take it. I've noticed lately that my legs feel noticeably more stiff and sore after a forbidden drink. I was clean today.
Zinc didn't do anything last time I tried it but I still think it may be helpful. Blood donation is also planned for later in the month.
Distance-1.5
9/11- Step backwards. 1 mile in 10:11 with bad splits. I was on pace for about the same as yesterday but fell apart just after the half mile. Very overstimulated today.
Distance-1.0
9/12- Half mile, which was worse than yesterday but I found the culprit. Nothing should surprise me anymore but this one left me totally blindsided. The culprit is a few sprays of COLONGE!! Yes, I'm sure of it too. I was MUCH worse just 5 minutes after a few additional sprays. I have no words.
Distance-0.5
9/13- Same as yesterday. Maybe worse. Didn't even use a watch. When the COLONGE clears, I will likely face an adrenal spike. Scratch the weekend too.
Distance-0.5
9/14- The adrenal spike peaked in the morning. Took me 4:35 to do one lap at Montreat. I was better in the evening. 2 laps in 7:44 (11:36 pace). BAD!
Distance-1.0
9/15- Junk mile
Distance-1.0
-7 miles
