Notes for the week.

Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly stupid.

A bad fortnight in the heat with dehydration.

Constipation, which I have avoided writing about for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. It is the thing making me most miserable and I have said nothing about it to anybody. That seems worth noticing.

Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated.

The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life.

Long run Sunday.

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line. Thank you for writing it down.

Bookmarking. This is the clearest description of a plateau I have read anywhere.
