5 miles all together today. 12x200m at the track with Lynsey. I had more stamina this time for whatever reason. I think I double lapped Lynsey during the reps. I faded a bit the last 3 reps. It's good to run with Lynsey a bit again. I am missing Merri though. She said she would join next week. :) I had a blood draw last week to test my thyroid function. I've been really fatigued for several months. Hopefully this will show whether or not it's a factor. If it isn't, I'll know I am just on over training burnout mode. I don't think I am going to run hobble creek because my aerobic base just isn't all the way there. I don't want to go into another race feeling like crap and bomb it. It makes me frustrated because I know what I am capable of. I also think I am avoiding a marathon this year. I might cycle down for a couple months then rebuild a heavy aerobic base again over the fall/winter like I did in 2009-2010 which spring boarded me into a fantastic year of PR's. If there is a low thyroid problem, hopefully a medication can help correct that imbalance and I will feel like myself again in a few months too.wo
