Ran 2. today. Not much, but this was all speed on/offs. They feel way easier now than they did 5-6 weeks ago. Fitness is gaining. Oxygen is taken in easier. Turnovers are smoother. I feel strong. Thought I would share how I am feeling since having my hormones tested. I went on armour thyroid In August, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA and Vitamin D3. I cannot begin to try to explain in words how much better I feel now. I later found out that my adrenals were fatigued as well from taking smaller doses of caffeine everyday before workouts. Not a good idea, so if you do this, think about the damage you could be causing your adrenal glands. The lack of running, and more resting that I did this summer helped heal my adrenals.Anyway, I don't feel tired all day anymore. I feel strong when I run. Something that was missing this last spring.I knoew something was up! But I feel like I will only progress from here on out. I have only run 2 marathons, barely dabbling in this distance. I'm a marathon rookie and have only begin to scratch the surface of what I know my body is capable of doing. I need to dig deep and find the next gears. It takes courage because those gears are going to be a lot of work.. I'm running 8-9 miles tomorrow outside. If anyone wants to join I am up for it.
