I got a late start to my run again! Had another tour to do at work, but I was better at keeping them on schedule today. But when I got the the gym to change my clothes I got caught up in a conversation with a young girl. We have talked before... we both have the same thyroid condition. But I guess she is having some difficulties now. So I talk with her for a bit to try and help her. don't know if I did any good. But after a bit I just gave her my email address and asked if we could continue the conversation via email. Hope I didn't offend. 

Ran up the parkway for a bit then around the city to make a bit over 6 miles... then did one mile barfoot on the indoor track. I think that is enough barefoot running for this week, my PF in my left heel started to bug a bit.

You're very nice to help the young girl. Keep us posted on how the barefoot running works for you.

It's interesting how many of us are trying barefoot running. I hope the payoff is a positive one. I've seen significant positive differences when I run barefoot and have learned to really enjoy it. Do you have 5 Fingers? I really need a pair.

I don't have 5 fingers... I think I will get a pair in the spring when I'm more likely to run barefoot outside. For how I will just be doing it on treadmills or the indoor track.

How is that thyroid doing? I can't remember - do you have Hashimotos? That's what I have, but I'm feeling pretty stable these days on compounded natural thyroid + good diet.

From Metcalf Running on Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 16:49:09 from 207.225.192.66

Yep I have Hashimoto's also. I have been doing much better then I was in the past. My newest thing is more the hot flash crap that is keeping me up at night. How can my hands and feet be freezing and I'm sweating? NP has me doing some compounded estrigine gel(sorry for spelling) but I'm VERY Very concered with weight gain, because with my night sweats has also come 5 extra pounds that I didn't have. But others are telling me that estrigen will make me gain weight! This getting older crap is not for sissies LOL

I am taking THE BEST supplements for night sweats, etc. I am sure your NP can get you these: DIM, Vitex & MMR Women's Formula. That last one will have immediate effects but you will have to increase your dose during days 14-28 of your cycle. I say no to hormone therapy. Good luck! (Jun - sorry for all the girl talk! lol)
