Slow milesFast milesTotal Distance
8.200.008.20

The first three miles were so very slow.  Breathing labored especially in the cold air.  Actually wore my black tights, head band, two shirts and gloves.  Pelvis to hamstrings ailing--- shooting nerve pains.  Again, this all went away as soon as I was transfused.  I am gathering again my breathing pattern will improve.   Have to run slow so  I don't tax myself more plus it just doesn't feel good to run fast.  I seem to be lacking adrenaline as well.  Still feeling quite depressed but I read that low iron causes depression as well.  It seems to be linked to many problems in the body.  I found lots of good articles on what to eat and what not to eat to get levels up but in my case it is so low that it would take months and inactivity to increase my level without IV infusion.  I feel so stupid that I didn't just go to the Dr.  I really don't like visiting the Dr.  There is quite the story for that too but I will leave that to the grave or best selling book in the future  : D.    AP after miles 1, 2 and 3 at 9:26, 9:32, 9:14  =  8:48.  I can't believe there is so much snow on the mountains again.  Didn't it just finish melting?  and so low to us!!!!!!  YOU COULD FEEL THE FREEZER BURN from it.

Just take it easy for awhile Julie. No need to push the pace. You are still recovering and if you are low on iron the worst thing you need to do is push yourself too hard. Use these cooler months as a time to enjoy running and not worry about speed/goals/ect. Just relax and enjoy it!

Okay I am preaching and I'm not really sure why. Sorry! Get feeling well soon.

i hope you get the iron thing figured out and get to feeling better. i agree with rachelle in that taking it easy for awhile is a good idea! :)
