tired a lot.  wake up tired.  muscles feel weak.  anemia most likely cause.  taking four days off.  this is day two.  but I do work two 12 hour shifts tues and wed.  off to Arizona to see mother on Thursday night for four nights with my sister.  Reality check for me with this anemia--  run easy with only one tempo and a few pick ups.  only just under five weeks left til marathon number 1.  I don't feel ready physically or mentally so I need to set my goals lower to just a course PRs for the slam.  Ogden that would be a 3:14.  Utah Valley 3:08 (depending on how Ogden goes).  Then for Park City 3:30 or better.  SG 3:06.   I don't know how to crack this anemia and also my age factor along with hypothyroidism.  I will just do what I can do.  Nothing forced or I will tire too early.  Need energy and I have none.  So it is better to cool my jets now.  If it happens I start to feel better than I will go with it.  Onward.  I don't have much time.  So whatever happens happens.  I  am having a lot of right sided sciatica and hamstring pain.  Hence a forced time off with the fatigue.  I have had this before...resting helps.  It will be time to taper by the time I get started.  That is funny : D.

Even if you are sick, tired or old, you will still run faster than me!!!

You will feel better soon and be back to runnin' circles around everyone else.

I didn't know you were doing Park City! I am doing it too (just for fun). My best friend graduates with her PhD that week and all of us are celebrating with a big girls weekend in PC and a marathon. :)

Does that mean you won't be running in AZ? I was planning on running, but my run is your walk.

NO it MEANS I AM running in Arizona...since I took four days off. If you call 12 hour shifts taking time off ; D. OKAY RACHELLE-- OF COURSE I AM RUNNING PARK CITY--- so is Josse, McKenzie, Kimberly (Cowart) and all us other slammers. No other choice but the mountain run!! If I don't get my anemia fixed I will most certainly die of a heart attack at 7,000 ft above sea level and running uphill for 17 miles.
