This is MY journey. My goal is to help and inspire others who struggle with themselves and with staying consistent. 2021 Update:

Runner since May 2012. Lets Go!

Here I will document my journey of weight loss, weight maintenance and training for my second half marathon after two hip repair surgeries (the second having been done on June 19, 2020).

First session of speedwork Wednesday with Miles & Macros, LLC in the books. We has a mile time trial. I forgot to stop my watch bc my stomach was in so much pain when i was done. It was about 8:56? I forget what Jared said lol. With warm up, two float/sprint laps, mile time trial and cool down about 3.25 done. I’m paying for pushing now, might be a rough night 🫣.

That was a painful run with my stomach/esophagus bloat/burning. 😭 Not sure how I’m going to survive speedwork that starts back tomorrow.

The trails and i didn’t like each other today. This was all I managed before i said screw this and went and sat on the dock with my feet in the water waiting for dave to finish. Hot, muggy and the damn bugs were insane.

At 730 it already felt 80. The heat definitely makes it harder on my stomach and esophagus. Pushing thru the best I can and pulling back when I need. Ive cut all caffeine out after reading that its a trigger for acid production etc. Today is day 4. But run done! Not pretty but done.

Im drenched and dripping in sweat. I tried to go slower and walked after every mile to let my stomach relax. It already feels disgusting out. But i got 5 miles done before work!

Got up by myself this morning like a big girl.

I wanted to do more but between the heat and my stomach this is all there is. Im done. I took walk breaks to calm it down so the gas would come up. But still ugh. I ran on an empty stomach, two different acid pills and a gas pill (all 24 hr type) and the issues still came. my two procedures aren’t until the end of July. So the suffering continues.
