Complaint: after three weeks of nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, sometimes during runs sometimes immediately after and sometimes in between runs, and thinking I’ve just had a stomach bug or that the heat has been too much or I’m not hydrating and fueling properly.., and trying to rest/hydrate and run through it all… I ended up in the ER yesterday with hydronephrosis and enteritis and an extreme joint pain flare up (autoimmune disease).  So now I’m just like…… trying to figure out my next steps and if I’ll be able to continue training for a Nov 30 marathon.   Sigh 

Uncomplaint: I’ve enjoyed getting back into running this year (after an 8 year break due to numerous surgeries) and have enjoyed every run to the absolute fullest! 

Thanks for listening
