| 12 very tired miles in the canyon with Janae. Felt awful yesterday, I don't know if I will last 30 days in this diet. I felt very dizzy, snacking is very neccessary for me. I think I can stick to it but just have to put in some snacks. We will see, I really just wanted to get the sugar out and cut the cravings which I have and feel so much better. But it's hard to workout a lot.

| It's crazy the difference one day makes. I did some digging in my legs and today they didn't hurt, I had an aditude adjustment and I am feeling good on this whole30 finally not dizzy. My plan was spin and 4 miles with 2x1 miles going off HR. Did spin then drove down to center st and ran up the canyon. I turned and did 2x1 mile with about a 2 min rest just until my heart rate recovered. Both were 6:40 with an avg HR of 163 and 164. I didn't look at pace and just heart rate. Then I did 4 short sprints at 5:45 pace.

| Only yoga, Jade is sick so I brought her to the doctor. Her chest X-Ray looked bad so they want her in the hospital. I don't think she needs to be, I have seen her so much worse. I am really stuck between a rock and a hard place. They think you are crazy if you want to deal with things at home. We are not dealing with her normal doctor, so frustrating.

day 20 of the Whole30 and feeling great. I can't believe how good I feel, depression is gone,server headaches gone, all day tiredness gone, moodyness gone, sugar craving gone, I now crave sweet potatoes, squash, and healthy fats, the rash I've had in my neck for a year+ is gone, pain levels are going down. I may never go back to eating non- Paleo it's hard but I love the way I feel.
A sample of my day
early if I exersice- banana or date energy balls or my homemade citrus date coconut oil fuel.
breakfast-either a green smoothie or eggs and veggies this morning I had eggs in a red pepper and left over acorn squash.
Lunch- most of the time it's left overs from dinner or I cook some fish and sautée a sweet potato and put it on a bed of greens with avocado and lots of other veggies.
Dinner- last night I made curried shrimp that my kids love, asparagus sautéed in olive oil with salt and lemon pepper and acorn squash
anyway I feel great!

| Ran an easy 5 with Rebecca early, 8:18/146. Then went to spin after the kids went to school, hard effort. Then a treadmill 5k in 23:10/7:28, started at an 8mm then bumped it down every .2-.25 finishing all out the last .1. Felt good surprisingly

| Day 29 of whole30 wow that went by fast, feeling good. I will continue with keeping grains, soy, most legumes, and sugar out of my diet, I will try a little raw dairy to see if I handle it. I love cheese and hope that I can have a little here and there.

| Better than expected, details later
eating paleo I was nervous about having enough energy to finish a half, I didn't have any time goals but I really wanted to be under 1:35. I have been feeling better and figuring out what works for me eating wise. I had a medium sweet potato and a bowl of sliced banana, hemp milk, broken up cashew cookie Lara bar, and chia seeds with a little drizzle of honey (2 1/2 hours before). Right before the race I had a direct fuel bite and a swallow of 5 hour energy. I only had water durning the race and felt no crash durning the race. This was amazing. My goal for the race is to push and keep my HR in the 150's and just hope I could hold on for 13 miles.
I only warmed up about a half mile, and it was colder than I thought it was but still stripped down to my singlet with arm warmers and knee length capris. I was chilly but felt fine durning the race. I really expected to crash and burn starting out at the pace I did, but I was able to catch a group of girls and stick right behind them. This helped me a ton and was able to pass one and not fall apart for her to pass me back:) I love when you have a good race.
The course I a loop of sorts with a few rollers but mostly flat. A net elevation gain of 85ft. Splits from garmin (mine was a little off).
1- 6:59 down hill in this mile that we would have to come back up at the end. Was glad I over heard some guys say we have to run back up this at the end so I was mentally prepared.
2-6:57
3-7:12
4-6:57
5-6:58
6-7:11 long boring road
7-7:01
8-7:08
9-7:13
10-7:18
11-6:40
12-7:45 up hill mile
13-7:00
.1-:45 (6:49)
average heart rate 158
dont remeber a lot of details just that I liked most of the course on the JRP and that I latched on to Amber G and she helped me focus and run strong.
i didn't cool down and had to hurry home to get food made for Thanksgiving dinner.
