Total Distance

5.00

Wow I actually ran 5 miles without much pain! Crossing my fingers that this time I am truly on the upswing. What a year I have had. I was catching some awesome speed in March-April and mileage was climbing then wham-o! Shin splint w/calf pain. Knocked me out for all of May and half of June. Finally start running again feeling good. But still fatigued. Then WHAM-o, low thyroid diagnosed. That's why I've been fatigued. Start taking care of that then wham-o! Shin splint on the other leg. Really?!?!

2012 has not been a good year for me with feeling good in general. I've struggled a lot. I really hope everything clicks back into place. I feel sad that I haven't done one distance race. But now am thinking if I can stay healthy and slowly up miles, I can run the Halloween half. Good times. But ball shriveling cold at the start. Good thing I don't have those.

Glad you are feeling better.

Your 2012 year has been very similar to Andrea's (despite different problems)... I think once both of you get that overall health back up to par, and injuries subsided, you can put in some solid, consistent running this fall and 2013 can be the best year ever!

Hey, at least you still have your sense of humor. That made me laugh for real. :)

I'm glad you had an awesome run today.

Looking forward to 2013! Halloween Half is looking enticing...

Take your time and hit it big in the spring!

would you mind telling me what your thyroid levels were ? free T4 and TSH (thyroid stim. hormone). I am trying to see what levels drs. are treating for. Thanks JULIE.
