9 Easy at 8:15 AP. I left at 7am and headed in the direction of the sun (west) as the mountains always block the sun a little too long. I had the WORST attack yesterday-- burning in my spine, down my leg and and arm on the right side. My calf would burn then go numb as well as both of my feet would tingle and go numb all day long. I am lacking something. I suppose I should check my ferritin level again since I haven't taken a break from running for a long time-- I can't even remember when that was. I also am getting the brown splotches back on the backs of my legs mostly behind my knee so I am suspecting an adrenal insufficiency. I didn't take the DHEA hormone that I was lacking a lot of last fall because it made me feel sick. The iron made me feel so much better that all I continued to take was vitamin D since my level was two points off from deficient (I was classified as insufficient). I try to eat a lot of veggies and wholegrains but since I sometimes don't lately I haven't felt as well. So this week it is strictly good eating. And a visit to my favorite FEMALE nurse practitioner. She will probably not like that I avoided some of her advice. But the DHEA supplement made me dizzy. And progesterone (my level was "0") supplement made me terribly zombie like. I obvioulsy have low levels for a reason-- my body doesn't like what it doesn't like. No worries I plan on OVERCOMING ALL THIS NONSENSE COME SATURDAY AM AND RUNNING THRU ANYTHING MY BODY PLANS TO THROW AT ME!! So PR IS HAPPENING NO MATTER WHAT : DDDDD. I am so excited to see what I can do and see if I peaked right or if that was so three weeks ago. No matter I am going for SUB THREE AT ST GEORGE MARATHON. Just sayin'.

Interesting as always about the iron, I have started taking an iron supplement just because I still struggle with fatigue and I have a sneaking suspicion although I haven't talked the doc into any labs. You are going to be awesome! Now, Saint George...did I miss something? Are you in?!
