Day 13 Log

I finally sucked it up and got in 6 miles this morning, gas bubble and all.  When I headed out from SMCC, I had cutback routes for 1 mile, 2 miles and 3 miles just in case I ran into any trouble on the road.  By 2 miles, I felt better and went for the full 6.  And it was nice to run at my pace this morning, unencumbered by snow banks or black ice.  The thick fog was a little creepy, but I was running on clear streets, I was rocking fluorescent orange and my headlamp, and I had my fastest time yet for 6 miles.  WOOHOO!!  I rewarded myself with a nice cup of Coffee by Design dark roast with coconut cream - still not the same as the real deal (cream & sugar).

I did a little searching the W30 forums to see if anyone else is having intestinal issues.  Quite a few people had problems during Week 1, but a lot fewer after that.  Many of those who've had problems felt a probiotic resolved them - which reminded me that I haven't taken mine in at least three days.  So I popped a probiotic as soon as I got home and am praying it works!  Someone else suggested Smooth Move tea; that may be my act of last resort :(

Does it taste like true Pad Thai?  No.  Does the Sunshine Sauce duplicate Peanut Sauce?  No.  Is it delicious?  Absolutely!  If you love take out Thai/Chinese, this will fill your craving.  Mmmmmmm!
