What a great start to the week ! Started back running on Monday and was able to run 2 miles at a decent pace. On Tuesday, I did a double. I ran 1.5 miles in the morning, then went to the gym late afternoon to lift weights. On Wednesday, I ran 3.5 miles, feeling like I was nearing where I was before coming down with the nasty sinus infection. Everything changed, starting Wednesday night.
When Emily came home from work, we decided to go out to eat at a local diner. Typically, when I go to a diner, I eat "diner food" (i.e. breakfast, burgers, club sandwiches). I decided to try one of the "chefs specialties" on Wednesday. It was called "Ritz Cracker Chicken". This is a chicken breast coated with crumbled ritz crackers with a butter lemon sauce. I'm feeling nauseous just writing this. I had planned on taking off from working out today, however, I didn't have this in mind. I woke up this morning with pain in my abdomen. As the day wore on, it got progressively worse. When Josh came home from school at 2:30 p.m., I had to take him for an orthodontist appointment. I was feeling really miserable by then and knew what was about to happen. Last April, when Emily and I were in Florida, the same thing happened to me. My body was about to violently reject last nights meal. I didn't even go into the orthodontist office with him, because I didn't want to get sick in the waiting area. When we got back home around 3:15 p.m., I went directly upstairs to the bedroom and began a 4 hour hell of non-stop vomiting. This is the 2nd time in my life that I have reacted this way to a meal. There was a 3rd time, but that was nowhere near as bad as today and Florida last year. I really don't know if it is Crohn's or some type of food poisoning (I'm guessing the latter). When the vomiting stopped around 7:30 p.m., the diarrhea started and did not stop until around 3:30 a.m. I feel like I've been beaten with a club. Tomorrow will be a day of shakes and relaxation.
