Tired but pressing on....



I have long blogged in some time. I have been more active on FB than here and it is my goal to get back to posting more. I need it. I need increased accountability and motivation about now. Things have been hard as of late with my training and overall program. As far as my home life, I could not be more blessed. My little girl is doing very well and meeting new friends, my husband is rocking his P90X workouts and doing very well with his cycling. Then there is my own journey....it is STUCK.

After coming back from the cruise, we started another challenge and I was doing well until my shoulder injury. I was unable to lift for a few weeks and it started to drive me crazy! I realized just how much I loved lifting and my circuit routines. A couple of weeks ago I started to notice I felt tired, weak and I did not have the spark that I used to. As the days progressed so did the overall feeling of fatigue. To make a long story short, we are looking into why I am feeling this way. We think it is my Thyroid, Adrenals or something along those lines. I feel confident that all will workout....

Moving on to my marathon training. I have my first 16 miler tomorrow!! I am excited about the challenge and I am hoping that I will be able to finish strong and my knee will do well. It is my goal to keep my pace steady and slow finishing around 3 hours....which would be just shy of an 11 mm. IF I can do this and STILL have my knee feeling good, I will be over the moon!!!!

Wish me luck....

I've been worried about you. I'm glad you're going to get a work up done and make sure they check to see if you're anemic and your B12 levels. Hopefully it's something as simple as an iron or B12 supplement.
