Believe to Achieve

AP for 8.3 miles =  7:35.  Not sure where that came from on a BUM foot!!  you know I really think once I get all these balances back in my body it will go away because I am STIFF as a board.  All my muscles feel tight--esp lower back and hamstrings.  The darn PF isn't helping either.  My DHEA level came back VERY LOW again as well.  Last year when I felt worse in Sept. it was 40.  When I started to feel better and after taking the med for one week (it made me feel weird) and then rechecked in a month it went to 74.  Normal values being 75-400.  Sunday my value was 61!!! This is the master hormone to every other hormone-- mainly adrenaline, thyroid, etc.....HENCE MY muscle aches and fatigue and stiffness and heartrate issues.  As April put it I am a mess!!   But a HOPEFUL MESS nonetheless!! : D.  Still waiting on my vitamin levels (D and B).  Last year D was VERY low (21), normal is above 40.  B looked good to me in the 300s and my Dr felt it should be higher.  Not sure I believe that necessity.  It was normal for crying out loud.  Let's leave well enough alone.  Actually these values are affected by low iron so there you go.  One thing leads to another.  I felt pretty good starting out today in the cool AUTUMN AIR and seeing all the fall leaves on the ground from the wind storm last night.  IF my foot wasn't ailing I would really have enjoyed this even more.  BUT I really was quite tight everywhere as well.  LIKE A MUMMY TRYING TO RUN or something.  WELL the best part is a I finished off with two sets of front, side, side planks - 60sec, 30, 30.  Then going forth with the push up challenge and did the third days of push ups for column two and guess what?  I FEEL STRONGER AND THEY FELT EASIER.  AMAZING I TELL YA!!  I did   8, 10, 7, 7, 10 (120 seconds in between of rest/stretching).   Push ups are quite mental for me.  I had to count to four, then count to four again and then count to two to do the last 10.  Somehow that made it easier in my mind to tell my body to do it.  Strange huh?  Lastly, I did two sets of twelve each of lateral raises (two types), biceps (two types), over head shoulders, lay down chest, triceps (two types), and rows.  Felt strong today despite my tightness.  All will be well soon.  : D.   ****GOOD NEWS!!!  This just in--My ferritin level has increased GREATLY from taking ORAL LIQUID IRON CALLED FLORADIX FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS!!!  AMAZING STUFF I TELL YOU!! GERMAN-MADE IN A DARK GLASS BOTTLE--- EXPENSIVE, but has several added herbs and vitamin Bs to aide absorption!!  SO STUPID THAT I SO RANDOMLY TOOK IT.  Just finally completed the bottle I got at the beginning of May that should only last two months at the most on Saturday!!!  And I had a dose for  just about every day since the marathon.  NOT good.    Off to purchase a new bottle since it is working!!  : D.  No IV Transfusions for me!!!  So glad.  It was pricey!!!  ALSO MY VITAMIN B level has increased.  No wonder I had energy today.  NOW to get my DHEA up.  Still waiting on Vitamin D results.
