Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences.  I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn.  I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

Ferritin Level = 10

Really hoping and praying that starting an iron supplement will help me to feel better.  It's been a really rough go for me and I feel like my health reached an all time low this Spring/early Summer.  I've felt crappy running for well over a year but once it started effecting my everyday life I knew something had to be off with my body.  Running slow and getting out of bed became a real struggle.  I gained almost 10lbs and was beginning to feel depressed.  If I didn't have a job I could sleep all day and I did on the weekends.  

Tests revealed that my thyroid is underactive, cortisol levels are low, and last but certainly not least ferritin is low for a runner.  I'm hopeful that I'll feel better once I can get these levels up into the normal range.  I'm sure it will take lots of patience but at least I have some answers.  I long to run fast again and as bad as I've mentally wanted it my body has just resisted every last attempt.

Good to hear you've found some answers and hopefully have some solutions. I'm cheering for ya to get back into form sooner rather than later.
