I'm eliminating the weight part of my daily stats, although I'll continue to log it on Saturdays. Since I don't ordinarily weigh myself everyday, it didn't make sense to log it in (I generally just repeated whatever Saturday's numbers were).

Took it slowly today, since I haven't run 45 minutes since last fall. Maybe I'm being overly cautious, but I'm taking it slowly to avoid injury as much as possible. Still a good run, although my knee hurt occasionally towards the end. I attribute that to inattention, which can lead to sloppiness on my part. Once I returned to focusing, the knee pain would disappear.

Saw the naturopath today. Good news: I don't have to go back to a complete elimination diet. Bad news: will have to do a partial elimination diet, removing all dairy, eggs, gluten, soy (except for fermented products like tempeh, edamame, miso, and tamari), almonds, and bananas. Grr. All the foods that runners are encouraged to include in their diet. It's only for 3 months, but these will be challenging times.

Slept only 6 hours last night. Must. Get. To. Bed. Early.
