I have been having stomach trouble ever since we crossed. We always eat “off the street” but after 4 months in the nawth, I think we lost all our Mexican bacteria. It got to the point that I even took a course of raw garlic and things improved. But I was still occasionally nauseous in the mornings (no, this isn’t going to end THAT way!) and had occasional cramping. Then I made crack. Or crap, as we call it. And I HAD to try some. Just a smidge of dairy-infused crack, but I couldn’t stop at a smidge, because dairy or no dairy, this stuff was like CRACK!
I’d gotten used to excema and hives from occasional contaminants of dairy – I either didn’t read a package well enough or decided to have something that listed dairy well down the ingredient list – but I’d forgotten the full-fledged effects of pure dairy. And either I’m paying that price now, or my Mexican bacterias are coming back.
I had planned a 5 mile run this morning and ever since I started logging my miles I get a bit obsessive about wanting to complete the mileage and this morning is no different. I’d planned x miles for the week and now I’m going to be 5 short. But luckily, my 1/2 marathon planning is no longer a time-of-the-essence issue because the 1/2 marathon I’d planned to run is in SPAIN!!! Can you believe it? I found a reference to it on a Mexican runners site and ASSumed it referred to the Merida in Mexico but I’ve been searching and searching the Mexican running sites even more and I’m almost positive now it is not the Merida of Yucatan state but of Spain. Oh well. So I can hang out here in the 3rd of a 12 week training plan for quite a while with no problem.
In other news, we’ve had a reprieve from the construction next door. They managed to work Xmas eve and New years eve and each and every Sunday since we’ve returned. Hammering, throwing so much concrete and wood dust into our palapa that it was sometimes hard to breathe and making us hate with the hate of a blinding rage, the whine of their saw.
But since the New Year it has been quiet. And MUCH cleaner! Every day I wake without the whine of a saw I wake refreshed. Even if my stomach doesn’t.
I’m planning on running today’s run tomorrow though. That ought to take care of the mileage bitch.
ugh! i had the stomach early this week…it was miserable! hope your are recovering well! we would love to have you for the 1,010 challenge! let me know if you definitely want in and ill add you to the list!
“That ought to take care of the mileage bitch.”
LOLOL!! Give that beotch some miles, baby.
I didn’t run 5 miles today, but I ate 5 salt and vinegar chips…..I plan to slap 5 on the bitch tomorrow.
