Eating healthy made me sick...

Man was I tired this morning, even after 8.5 hours of sleep. After yesterday's training I was sleepy tired and after I finished today's bike training session I became sleepy tired again. I did a moderate bike ride after work and it was windy. It was 50 kph with gusts up to 67 kph and only 7 C outside. It seemed that no matter what direction I was going in I was being blown by the wind. I had one scary moment when I was on busy Tremaine road, the same one that another cyclist was killed on about 3 years ago, and the wind almost blew me out of control. 

My speedometer is broken and no longer works. I just used my heart rate to gauge my effort and forgot about the speed which made the ride much more enjoyable. After I finished the ride I ate some Caesar salad that we picked up at Costco. I figured I should try to eat more healthy. The only problem was that when I went on my run after dinner and a nap, about half way through the run I was feeling as sick as a dog. The first mile was at a 6:55 pace and I felt food then it went all downhill after that. All I could feel was the salad in my stomach. Now I've eaten large pizza's and gone running right after and never felt this bad. All I could think about was finishing and never eating a Caesar salad from Costco ever again. I've never felt that sick during or after a run, ever! When I got home I just closed my eyes and almost keeled over on my driveway. After 5 minutes my heart rate still hadn't dropped down to much either, it was staying up around 122 bpm.

On the run I was thinking I need to take a break from Uncle Ben's rice and chicken for a while. I usually eat them for lunch and Alice often makes the same thing for dinner. I can't even look or think of them right now or I start feeling sick. Not a good food and training day.

That sounds awful. I find salad and fruit never fill me up - but are great as "supplements" to my usual meal so I cut down on the portion of carbs and up the portion of the salad. Anyway, I can't eat and run - I need to run first, then eat: otherwise, I throw up. Hope you're feeling better!

Thanks for the well wishes. I woke up this morning and I'm much better.
