easy barefoot, pre-yoga

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 70, nice, but smokey

Comments:
ROUGH day. Slept TERRIBLY last night: gut rot, like nothing moved. This is the classic giardia symptom from the first go-round. "Woke up" extremely non-rested.

7AM patient (a woman I met at the race Saturday, good marketing, Uhan van!), then Keith and CA came by, and we did a combined gait analysis for everyone.

To add insult to gut rot: I'm fucking SWIV-ING AGAIN! Goddamnit! WTF? Not as terrible as historically, but -- it certainly explains the right ab cramps, because my left arm is NOT swinging back (so it's like a half-swivz). UGH.

On top of that, I had worsening gut rot, mid-day, so all in all, I was in a bad mood.

Thankfully some good news: I got a hold of my doc (called him Friday) and at 10:20AM he offered to see me at 11. In about 90 minutes:

- I enrolled (he's a subscription-based, non-insurance MD!)
- drove to north Eugene and got an exam
- he rx'd new meds and ordered labs
- I got blood drawn and "equipment" for a stool sample
- drove home!

Glad the ball is rolling. I missed my run, as a result, but I didn't care.

Came home and ate brunch with Keith and CA (which gave me more gut rot), drove Keith to the airport, then went back to work to treat patients. My 4:15 (essentially) no-showed, so I went out for a quick run, pre-yoga.

Jogged entirely barefoot around SEHS, but no turf, since fall sports were practicing. Ran on real (but rugged) grass, then some 300m jaunts on the track surface. Felt OK.

Yoga: good class. Then beers with the Taylors. Felt like ass, and didn't eat dinner, afterward, in hopes that I could sleep.
