IM Date: 5/20/2010 - Depleted??? Who knew?

OKay so I admit it...lately I've been feeling kind of crappy in the mornings, a little slow to get going. But I always do. I mean, I kind of chalked it up to the fact that it's May and I've logged over 900 miles running this year alone. Not to mention swimming, biking, jiu jitsu, etc.

But yesterday I mentioned this feeling to the wonderful Dr. Paul Nash...my favorite Chiropractor/nutritionist/"voodoo doctor." I only joke about that last one because sometimes I am amazed at how he tests for things and how testing something in one part of the body will show an issue with something in a completely different part, etc.

I figured I needed to detox again, but after some tests, etc. I was told: "wow...you're 'depleted', your immune system is very weak right now." He told me I was at risk to develop Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

I guess this situation is common with endurance athletes; which makes sense. So I got a nice new bag of supplements to bring home and hopefully this will help. So I took my "handful" of pills along with my new and improved shake this morning and we'll see how it goes...

Back soon,

Brian
