TLDR:
24 hours of full-power Fiji belly wiped me out. Ate again last night, strength finally returning today. Tested the legs on the hotel treadmill — 60 easy minutes at 5:00/km, felt surprisingly normal. We’re back.

Full Post:
Well… that was rough.

A proper case of Fiji deli belly knocked me out from Sunday afternoon until well into Monday. No food, no energy, no running, just lying horizontal and questioning every life choice that led to whatever evil bacteria moved into my body. Not physically sick, just completely emptied (out the other end!) of every strength in my body.

Managed to eat last night — very cautiously — and I could feel myself coming back online. Still a bit light and wobbly this morning, but after a good breakfast I started feeling more and more human.

So I decided the safest way back was a treadmill cruise at the hotel gym. No heat, no humidity, no hills — just me, a belt, and a random selection of YouTube videos. Set the pace at a very safe 5:00/km and ticked along for just over an hour.

And honestly? Felt good. Body felt normal. Legs felt fine. No issues at all.

I’m not declaring myself 100% just yet, but today was a solid “systems back online” run.
