My real age is.....


41.1 years old!
Real age: almost 45 actually...tic toc tic toc ...it's coming....
Well thank you.

I prefer the 26 some 6th grader said I was when I was working last week...but 41.1 after taking a detailed test is ok too.

Did you take that test?
What was your age?

Of course this is just a bunch of numbers and info mashed up but it gives an idea.

What makes me older?

1. Cholesterol that is too low.  Recommandation: drinking wine!!!! I would love to but I can't because I have stupid GERD.

2. Avoid smoking area.  I do that already.  That part of the test is where I should have answered differently I think.  It asked if I was ever exposed to second hand smoking... As a child I was because my parents were both smokers but that was over 30 yrs ago now....


I have has a rough couple of days.
A GERD relapse.  Full blown gastritis and I don't know why.
The only thing that can explain it is stress.
I did not cheat on my crazy diet.
It is so frustrating.
I cannot sleep..the burning and the pain is pretty bad.
3 nights awake...
That led to no long run yesterday...I did just 3 lame miles.
I feel so weak because I am not eating much or sleeping.
Not much food is going down... Oeasophagus is pretty irritated so it hurts to eat.
This, my friends SUCKS so bad.
But many people are worst than me I know this.
I am back on meds and drinking the ACV ...that part worries me because for me it means weight loss.

Anyway I hope it will calm down soon.
At least I got a 6 miler in on Thursday.

Turkey trot for the whole family is coming up!
I am doing it with my kids!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

Oh, and btw - it would actually be a blast to do the LA marathon with you, but I don't think I'll be doing any marathons next year...or if I do it will be fall again. Too hard to do early marathon with triathlon season - and I actually would like to do a few tris this year lol.

If you decide to go for it you can TOTALLy do it!

I saw on FB that you got that 6-miler done--so hopefully that means the GERD is on the wane. Maybe I'll take that real age test later....I'm sorta scared....
