AM – I have been getting a bit less than disciplined in the AM routine when home. It is easier to stay in bed longer, enjoy the cup of coffee or three a bit longer and cruise the interwebs. I tend to force myself out when on the road, but when I am at home I sloth in its comforts. So, in the dark, cold, snow covered stuff this AM, an easy five.

Afternoon – started out with good intentions and got a couple of miles at race pace / effort (for an 8k). At the close of the second I ended up nearly breaking down the door at the Common can for a bio break. Stomach was sour after that and I even brought some lunch back the other way. Great stuff. Took me a few miles to get my legs back underneath me but I was past the hard effort then, and just rolled it steady. 10 miles.
Funny you mention this, I was just thinking about you today.... Had a similar issue this afternoon after a team lunch at a BBQ joint. Had a little bit of an upset stomach, but thought I had got my business done before leaving the office, but just as I was leaving the car at Gregory, I knew I had really serious issues coming on FAST and then went on to replicate your 2006 PPA action and chuckled thinking back to 9 years ago.
