Today was a "long run day" at Draconia, but I had to stop early. I was assigned 16 steady miles, but after two or three I felt spent, and my legs felt machine gunned. I ended up running ten, but I could honestly go no more. I don't know what is going on, and this condidtion feels like it is slowly getting worse. I felt much better after my knee injury (when I was out of shape), and I could definitely run faster for a much longer period of time. I have overtrained before, but this does not feel like that (and I only did 50 miles last week). This feels like my whole bod fatigues at an insanely fast rate. When I begin the run, I feel ok, but after a mile or two it feels like I hit a massive wall. On repeats (track), I can do the first few, but after that I am useless (I have to go in anaerobic debt. to maitain splits). My iron supplement was taken at the airport (security thing), and I have not taken any since, so I think that may be the root cause. Even before it was taken from me, I took a very small amount, probably not enough to make any big difference. I have not felt "good", or even realtively good for almost two weeks now, so I need to find an answer. I checked the symptoms of anemia (online and through teammates) and it seems to match my symptoms. I am going to get a blood test tommorrow to see what is happening. | | Comments(2) |

| Another easy day today around the Sanitas Loop. It was pretty hot today and I didn't feel great. I got some blood drawn this morning, and the sports doctor presumed that my iron would be low. We'll see. | | Add Comment |

| Today was an easy run around "lollipop". I felt ok for the first few miles, but definitely started hurting after five miles or so. I received my blood tests, too, and my ferritin levels are low. My white blood cell count is also a bit low, so I don't quite know what that means. I am sure that our sports physician will know what is happening. I just want some answers to know why I feel so fatigued. I guess my low ferritin levels will produce some fatigue, but I don't know what extent they will do so. | | Add Comment |

| Alright, today was a workout which really scared me. I was not feeling great, but I decided to do as the coaches said and give it a try. I was assigned 4x1k repeats at 4:57. Coach Heather underassigned me a bit to give me some rest time. I did the first repeat and it felt great. I decided to go for the second, and again, it felt great! I finished the last two, running 72, 70, then 32 for the last 200. I don't know hoe this is possible, seeing as I didn't feel like doing a workout in any way. Well, who knows. I guess the multi-vitamins, blood builder and extra iron may be kicking in! | | Add Comment |
