Personal:

I am married with 3 lovely children 29, 21, 15 a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

I am starting to think there is something wrong with me. I think I will go get some blood work done to see if I am low on iron or something. All most every run since the marathon I have been really tired and I get light headed and just can't run. Plus I have been super tired, and bad headaches. I just feel awful.

Meet the girls down at Vintage park and ran. Iced after in the river.

8:05 avg. pace, felt way to hard

Asics 1140 Wh/blue Miles: 6.30

I am sorry! EAT MORE MEAT. Isn't that where iron comes from?

Great Paula Radcliffe quote, BTW. Totally true.

Have a good day!

Hope you feel better.

I hope those 10 seconds that I ran with you two Saturdays ago didn't get you sick;-)JK. I hope you get to feeling better!

Sorry you're not feeling well. Smart to get it checked. Get better soon.

Your body needs a rest, as you are discovering. I think you are on the verge of chronic fatigue. A marathon depletes your adrenaline which then sets you up for decreased immunity, for example allergies, decreased thyroid function, decreased kidney function-they send out the adrenaline. So good to get tested. Try a week of really slow running. I think you will be amazed at the recovery. And eight hours a night of sleep. Josse- I am just concerned, so please take it easy. PS take in vitamin C when you eat iron foods, it helps absoption. I would go for a natural way of getting iron as supplements can cause other issues.

Yes, get some rest and some good food. It's a good idea to get things checked out too. I hope you get feeling better soon.
