brick. hr was lower than normal, which was nice cause I ran a touch faster. :)

weird night of sleep again. Had a 2.5 hour awake from 12-2:30, had to let pupper out and then go outside to get him back in, then up again at 4ish as he was pacing and panting in the bedroom. Again, he would not come in (he has bad loose stools occasionally in the house during the night) but he didn't pee or poop. Just ate damn snow like a snack! Needless to say I was not pleased to go herd my herding dog into the house in my jammies at 4am! GAH!

I had 20 minutes from the time I woke up to biking. Put cordyceps and schisandra in my coffee and I think this helped my workout and brick post. Time will tell, but so far I like it!

SUNNY RUN! Whoo hoo! Ran harder up the rollers as that was part of the work out. Just felt good to be outdoors in not so cold temps with SUN on my face!

had a BAD day of eating and gut/feeling off yesterday afternoon. Had a killer nights sleep though. Tried my new adaptogens in my coffee this am. Felt very energized for my run. BUT...I did have great sleep, lots of carbs yesterday too. Excited to see if these make a difference in energy and hot flashes over time!

Fastest I've run this route in forever, but I did run the hills harder than I usually do, so there's that.

The girls functional medicine doctor is retiring. We had our last call with her today. New supplement for energy production (FML so many damn expensive supplements!) and another stool test to see where her gut issues are at now. Le sigh. The true never ending story. Hope to be introduced to the referred Doctor in the next day or two.
