At the beginning of March, I got sick. Then, a week later, I did two fairly long runs. However, March was a struggle all month. I was feeling, generally, run down. March went out with a wimper, too, as I felt sick again towards the end of the month. I ended up 20/31 in March, with a total of 12,575 calories tabulated. I'm 4/5 in April, but I'm still feeling run down. My last real run was March 16th.
Any magic remedies out there in NBT land? It would be nice to get back in the swing of things!

Run Down

are you run down because you're sick, or because you've been overdoing things?
Sick, I think. I haven't been doing much each day. I've been fairly regularly eeking out my 500 calories, but that's it.
Haven't gone more than 3 miles on a run since March 16th. Mowing the lawn requires more exertion than any of the "runs" I've been on lately. Mowing, hopefully, is about to get easier, courtesy of a self-propelled mower that should be arriving tomorrow!
Maybe just patting yourself on the back for what you are able to do? My Pilates/physical therapist person keeps saying you have to be flexible about your progress towards your goals...keep moving, but consider two steps forward and one step back as one fantastic step forward!
Felt pretty good running out at Thunderbird today. We weren't paying attention to exactly how far we were going, but I think we were running for about 80 minutes at a reasonable clip (first mile was about 8:30.
