Training 2/23-3/1

 2/23- Forced rest day.  Too tired and jet lagged.  I didn't run at all in Hawaii and was BAD with the diet.  Time to get back on track now. 

 I was able to discern 2 important things: First,  I can't get by without Zinc but 1 pill is my limit.  I'm functional on 1 pill but if I go with zero or two, it's ugly.  I DO NOT LIKE THAT but it's unlikely that it's an autoimmune issue.  Rather, it's a 2 front war with the unbalanced blood sugar and adrenal/thyroid ratios.  Second, extra Paramin seems to help.  It is possible that increased Paramin and less sugar will improve my tolerance for Zinc.

2/24- 2 miles on Lakeshore in 19:17 (9:38 pace).  Splits were 9:34-9:43.  Surprisingly decent and better than expected all things considered.  Legs were sore but had some life.  Not completely spent at the end.  

Distance-2.0

2/25- Needed extra sleep so no morning workout.  Even with extra Paramin, Thym Adren doesn't work as well as the ADHS.  Cutting the sugar may not change that.

Update: Stand alone Mag is BAD!  Maybe that's why I struggled with extra Zinc and Thym Adren.  Paramin is what I need to take.  NOT Jigsaw Mag 

Distance-0.5

2/26- AM- 1 Mile on Lakeshore in 11 minutes plus.  Not surprised.  Still clearing out the bad stuff from yesterday.

PM- 1 Mile on Montreat in 9:44.  Much better.  Splits were 4:58-4:46.  I'll take it.

Distance-2.0

2/27- I am energy drink free but not caffeine free.  I was horrible this morning.  Very overstimulated.  Calmed down after a Mountain Dew.  Bring on the caffeine withdrawal tomorrow.  That may improve the tolerance for Zinc and Magnesium 

Distance-0.5

2/28- Horrible morning but got better as the day progressed.  Just walk/jogged 1 Mile but I was better a few hours later.

Distance-1.0

3/1- 4xhalf mile with Probiotics.

Opener-6:00.  Took 1 pill every half mile.

Improved to 5:22-5:04-4:47.

Distance-2.0

8 miles
