Same as yesterday.

My heart rate is now getting down below 70 while sitting in the evenings. However in the morning it seems to be stuck in the mid 70s. It's a bit weird because, the heart rate should be lowest in the morning. I have collected lots of data that show my heart rate is lowest between 6pm and going to sleep.

I've been kept awake recently by some nasty allergic symptoms. Mostly hives during the night. This morning I had no hives but I woke up feeling nauseous. The nausea quickly turned into a fever and terrible muscle pains. I'm not sure if this was just a coincidental enterovirus or if this is somehow related to everything else. My hurt rate was 91 lying down suffice it to say.

I'm currently trying to investigate if I have an intolerance to various foods.

Allie tells me that the big 6 are: Gluten, Soy, Dairy, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Shellfish

This year I have eaten less of almost all of those things than at any other time in my life. The one exception? Soy.

Last year I started drinking soy protein smoothies in a failed attempt to gain muscle mass. I wasn't really running much due to injury so I started lifting weights as an experiment. It became an important source of protein for me along with milk, cashews, fish and eggs.

I would only get my milk and eggs from local farmers. This became relatively inconvenient for me when the local store by my house turned into a "compassionate eatery". I started to drink more and more soy protein until it became a daily thing for me. I have now cut it out of my diet. So far I've had a scary heart run, many nights of hives and a lousy viral infection.

Not sure what to do.

Felt MUCH better today. I even ran to school but I didn't put on my heart rate monitor.

A suggestion from a fellow blogger:

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.

It's intriguing because of many of the similar symptoms. These include nausea, dizziness, exercise intolerance, low blood pressure and chest pain.

The main difference I can see is that my heart rate doesn't rise by 30bpm when I stand. What's odd, I think, is that my heart rate somemtimes goes down when I stand up and walk around.

Just took my heart rate at 66. Seems like I might be normalizing for now.

A good run today. My heart rate got into the 160s for a bit and was well behaved. I felt it jump once in the last mile so I slowed down. 

Update: HR=63 at 2:40pm

AM RHR 57!!!

I decided that I wanted to see what happens when I actually try to run a decent effort. I thought that a 10k would be better than a 5k because it's less of a shock to the system.

Ended up only about 2 minutes slower than last year. As in des news I wore my garmin and completely ignored my splits as they were happening. Thus, these are a little off from the actually miles but not by much.

Warmup Miles 8:54,8:51,9:06 (136,121,120)

Race Miles 5:31,6:15,6:17,5:43,5:42,5:46 (167,178,182,181,183,186)

Cooldown Miles 7:56,8:04 (147,140)

The 5:31 felt ludicrously slow, but it is mostly downhill. After the first mile I felt pretty lousy and just tried to run an even effort. I was about 90 seconds behind my pace from last year at halfway, so only 30 seconds slower the second half.

I can't be upset by my performance but if I'm being honest with myself I have to admit that this didn't feel great. I will have to monitor what happens over the next week,  but my hunch is that I set myself back a bit. That's ok though, I had good reason to think I was on the mend and this is definitely an improvement.
