The day I started to eat right again (12/26), I came down with an awful cold I have named The Mayan Flu. Fever, sinus infection, chills, fatigue... It lasted for about a whole week. So my new rule was that I could eat whatever I wanted while I was on antibiotics but as soon as they were done, I was back on the wagon.
So, I started back on the eating clean and healthy plan on Friday and have done well so far. I ran 4 miles on Friday and 9.5 miles today. Today's run was interesting. I found a new park to run at. My old park was a 1/2 mile lap and I just couldn't imagine doing that lap 19 times. The new park has a nature trail that is about a 1.5 mile loop (or out and back) and then a paved trail that is a 2 mile out and back. The nature trail has a well maintained, wide trail and then you can either turn around and come back on that or you can loop back through some narrow, less maintained trails. I did that first and then on the second time (around mile 5), I was on my feet one minute and next thing I knew, I was face down in the dirt. I don't know what I tripped on but I fell hard. My legs were ok, but my right hand and arm are pretty sore. And I was very dirty! But, I got up and finished the run.
My legs and pelvis were pretty sore so I decided to try an ICE BATH.
It was eye opening, that's for sure. I stayed in for 20 minutes. I kept looking at my watch, time was moving slow. But I think it did help a lot.
