feeling awful.  don't know what to do but take it one day at a time.  gonna start DHEA hormone that my level is extremely low in.  Look it up.  It is important.  A stress hormone--- precursor to all hormones.  apparently i have been under a lot of stress.  yup.  my runs are usually to help with that now it seems they are adding to the problem. heel pain back.  seriously?????  6 long miles to the rec center (8:20, no garmin, course tool).  I say long because my mind and body working together made it that way.  they are not connecting right.  running seems toohard.  even one mile seemed long today.  holy moly what is going on?  there is no "I love running moment" in running.  In fact when I run it is all fuzzy and surreal.  I will over come.  I have three times before (probably more).  I am tough.  but it would be nice to have magic pill to take to snap me out of this funk.  it feels like post partum depression without a beautiful baby to show for it.  sorry guys...i am supposed to be uplifting but I can't hide what is happening then i wouldn't be telling the truth.  I will figure it out and rise above it.  Hopefully in time for the St George Marathon.  Ogden is looking like a huge obstacle right now to me.  One foot in front of the other.  I am pretty much going to show up incognito, run, then come on back home like I never was there.  I hope I can muster a 3:13 (course pr).  Oh did spin class x 48 minutes.  First class since February. Trying to see if maybe running is a burnt out flame for me.  It was nice to do something new.  Ran home 2.88 miles (no garmin so had to course tool both runs, seems as though my garmin is in standby mode as well).  8:13 ap.  Stay tuned...digging myself out...no worries.

Julie!! I hope that hormone is the ticket and you get things squared away. Sounds like you had a jolly spin class. Keep at finding things that are enjoyable and complement your running and you will do great at St George.
