I don't want to make a big deal about this. Just wanted to say something in passing. I haven’t been feeling well -- stomach and abdominal pains, nausea, and acid-burn sensations in my stomach. I went to see the GI specialist yesterday and I am on stronger medication to see if this is just ulcer-like symptoms caused by stress or something more grave. If the signs persist, the doctor will scope everything.
I’ve written before about my love for running. I was scheduled to run the Salt Lake City Marathon last Saturday and was unable to do that because of my stomach problems. I have been running every once in awhile when I feel strong enough to run. And when I have been running, it is just not the long miles I was completing in late February and early March. And ever since my problems started that last week in March, I have had odd pains while running or after running. All this has been frustrating and disconcerting to me. When your ill, faced with the symptoms I have been showing, mortality has seemed most fragile and fleeting.
Last night, after speaking with my specialist for the first time, I needed to hit the canyon trail and work through all of the frustration and worry pent up inside me.
I ran 8 miles in a slow 1 hour and 18 minute time.
And the music I listened to? I thought you’d never ask. It was a sampling of Delerium’s CD Chimera; Jeff Beck’s self-titled CD Jeff, which was a Grammy Nominated Rock Instrumental nomination last year (I’ll have to post my review of this excellent techno CD sometime soon); and songs from Enigma’s hugely popular CD titled MCMXC A.D.
Here’s the playlist:
1. Robert Black remix of "After All" by Delerium (Chimera). Robert Black is my very talented friend who participated in an international contest for coming up with the best remix of this song. His remix is one of my most favorite techno songs. It is highly unfortunate that it didn’t win. Anyway, I love running to it.
2. "Make a Wish" by Conjure One (Conjure One).
3. "Tears from the Moon" by Conjure One, guest vocalist Sinead O’Conner.
