Day 2?

There is a question mark there because I can hardly believe I am already on day 2. I mean wow, jee golly whiz. Actually its because I ate a handful of chocolate last night, so maybe today is day 1 again ;) But no, onward and upward. I have started strong on this day. Eggs, zucchini and nearly black coffee for breakfast. Raw veggies and a bit of dip for lunch, and another almost black coffee.... a couple of almonds for fun. And water. I need more water. And I got on my spin bike, the first exercise I have done in almost 2 weeks. I went slow. I just pedaled with minimum resistance, just enough to break a sweat. 20 minutes. ... Day 2 continues.

Day 1?

It has been a quite a while since I posted last.  Since then I have completed another marathon.  It was worse than my first. Perhaps I will blog about it later. ..

So why is this post being called Day 1? There are a lot of reasons....

But the short and to the point version is that my body has been in a slump. I have been picking up faster 5k and tempo run times than before,, but I know my eating was awful (plus now with summer it gets harder)... I was probably over trained too.  I knew there was a downhill coming.  So just over 2 weeks ago I decided I needed to start eating how made me feel best and that was a lower carb,  higher protein and fat diet.  I needed to kick the cravings so I was starting on a 2 week keto go. The morning of day 2 (Canada day) I woke up and went out for a Canada day 5 know run in the community. My friend and I went for a warm up lap and by the time we were done i knew I was off but had no idea what was off. Just a bit of a tight chest....

We ran the race shortly after and within minutes of finish I knew I was sick.  At first I thought this is a little too soon for the "keto flu...."
In bed until Sunday with a headache and body chills and not sure what was up but with a trip to Whistler coming up in figured I should go in to the Dr in case I needed antibiotics. Which I got that day

Turns out. ..... I had pneumonia. X-ray Sunday,  results monday. Whistler Tuesday. 

I caught it early enough I think that I didn't fall harder.  But it's still in there and all the trips are over for a moment.

So today is Day 1.
Day 1 of MAF training. I figure since I can't run yet, or even move too fast for my lungs, it is a good time to start training this way again.  I remember how slow and hard it was, the ego hit, but also the energy left over. 
Day 1 of Keto eating. I need to go shopping.

Now I am clearly a terrible blogger,  so let's see how long this lasts!
