Ran with Mel, Kim and Jane (the sub-3 marathoners) at 5:10am up AF Canyon. Actually I didn't run with them I ran behind them. In the dark up the canyon for 5 miles. Kind of scary. I had a bit of a panic attack. Stupid hormone pills. The first 7.5 miles and the last mile was uphill. Steep uphill but totally doable just not speedy for me. I was just plain tired and didn't want/couldn't run fast. Even the downhill I struggled. I avoided feeling pain but then came the left hip/foot problem and we were on angled ground. It wasn't as bad as it has been however : D. So hopefully taking it easy the next two weeks should get me there. I just had no umph today. The three speedies were quite impressive and its obvious they will go way under 3 hours at SGM. They are in AWESOME shape. I hope to come in at 3:20. I turned around down the canyon at mile 14.25 and ran back uphill to Kim's car and the others ran all the way down and thru the golf course and turned around to our cars at the mouth of the canyon. I drove Kim's car to them. We iced in the FRIGID river. Could only handle 3.5 minutes. I didn't take my progesterone pill last night-- it was making me very tired and spacy-- so now as my level is dropping I am very anxious. I am going to try to go on a more bioidentical hormone so I don't feel "out of it", and "non-caring" as I have felt on it. The withdrawal is hard to take though so I will have to take a pill tonight and wean off it. AP 8:11 for 15. The last uphill mile killed my pace. There was a strong headwind and the grade was very steep. Slowly but surely I will try to gain my performance back. I read that if a runner is anemic (iron deficient) a tale sign is a decrease in performance. I ran part of this run 4 weeks ago and could do 6:30s on the downhill. I was breathing hard at 7:00s. Blah. Cross your fingers.

I say it's a good run Julie! I fatigued pretty bad on my long run today. Maybe I need to start taking some iron...

yes you should probably check your levels iron, TIBC (total iron binding capacity) and ferritin (iron stores). April I think getting lost takes a lot out of you, energy used up panicking.

I sure hope Allie won today. I am going to look it up on the news.

Looks like she won with a super PR! I got some slimfast shakes to supplement with and a women's one a day. I'll do that for the next 3 weeks and try to eat some quality food. I think I'm a quart low on something so I hopefully that covers whatever it is!
