I am sick. sore throat, chest congestion and fatigue. I felt early symptoms as long ago as wednesday. I’m wondering if it is related to my diet. I am basically 6 days in to cold turkey of no: grains, sugar, dairy, lugumes and alcohol. I wonder if that is enough to bring on flu like symptoms or if I am legitimately getting sick. I have been drinking lots of water and have even squeezed in a workout on thurday that was running, pullups and push ups. I am still incredibly sore form that- when I was still sore from opening FRAN work out. I think its just a big jolt coming essentially ‘off the couch’ into this paleo challenge both nutritionally and physically. the past 90 days have been almost free for all and I believe I’m paying for it now.
i’m running the 5th avenue mile next saturday. should be easy enough but it is basically a full out sprint - so pretty intense. then at the end of october- I’m doing the Men’s Health Urbanathlon which looks like its going to be tough based on the amont of running involved.
I have done the Tough Mudder, which was easier than I expected- and I trained for that exclusively doing crossfit. I am confident that the urbanathlon will go the same way as long as I keep up the Paleo Challenge an adapt to these workouts as they come. RIght now, I’m being punished though. keeping up with fish oil and lots of sleep.
