My training log for the week of December 15th, 2025, shows that even at 10 days past my drug/supplement interaction, I am not 100%. I am slowly coming back but it was both a physical and psychological setback.

It actually seems that “there are more ways than one to skin a cat” probably refers to a “catfish”. That means that I can use it to describe my walk, then run as being more than one way to get back into running shape.

It is thirteen days since I experienced the antibiotic and supplement reaction that was so debilitating. My gut microbiome is back to 100% and now I am focusing on eating a more anti-inflammatory diet. For my workouts, I did Dig In Phase 2 Back 2 and then walked.

Another strength workout with Shaun T, doing most of Dig In Phase 2 Day 2 Arms & Legs 2, and then a run. After 14 days, today was the first day that the Spirit said to me, “You should run.” It was actually pretty good, but it will take a while to get back to where I was two weeks ago.

Another Dig In workout and a short walk later. Shaun T has mellowed, and for the first time in 15+ years, I actually like him and his workouts. Plus, what he has done in terms of strength gains is very inspiring!

Many, many years ago, I ran with shorts, socks, and running shoes in warm weather. Shaun T can wear whatever he wants or doesn’t want to wear, and today it was shorts, socks, and workout shoes!

Trail running in the Sandia Mountain Foothills, seeing at least eight deer and even some snow in the shade!
My first microdose fitness workout from the 10 Minute BODi series. 21 Day Fix Extreme 10 Minute HardCORE as a stretch after the run.
Sunday December 21st, 2025
I got in my 34:00 of Dig In Phase 2 Body 2 this morning. After this year, no more streaking, and I am probably taking Sunday off in 2026!
