    Thanks :)

    It's hard to lose faith in things that are so important to you. But you're right, sometimes bad things happen no matter what you do or do not do. The dosage of my medication has actually doubled now, and it's a very noticeable difference. I was afraid my neurologist would bring the dose back down once I had stabilized since she had talked about that before, but I did a good job of explaining to her what a struggle my life was on the old dose and what a difference it is now, and she agrees that the high dose is the correct dose. :) I still believe, or believe again, in all of the principles of the paleo diet and of exercise. The science doesn't make any less sense then it did before. It's just that I had unrealistic expectations. I had hoped that if I were to follow it super strictly, especially the paleo part, that perhaps it would save me. It didn't. It can't. But as long as my meds work it can make me feel pretty darn good, much better than my meds alone. So I still believe. It does all it says it does. But it took a while to get over the disappointment that it can't fix me, so for a little while I didn't want to have anything to do with it. It's all good. It's all part of the healing process, and then you get back on the horse and get back to it. I'm taking it slow. My main focus is nutrition, I'm starting exercise very carefully because I don't want to ruin the progress I've made over the past few months.

    Hi sewblue!

    Thanks so much for the warm welcome! It's good to be back. No, unfortunately I was not doing well. I'm trying to get into the groove of logging again. Weird how it feels so natural even though I haven't done it for half a year. Wow, you just did a 10k race?! It sounds especially brutal. You are a fantastic athlete, how you keep pushing yourself and are so determined and full of willpower. You're awesome!!! :)

    10k

    I hated every minute of that race. The sun was so brutal and the hill was torture. At 5k I was thinking why am I doing this? I hate this! But I'll probably run it again next year. It's like childbirth. After awhile you forget the pain.

    Title...

    I have that uphill, heat of the day, 10K on Sunday. I'm not really feeling it, but I registered and paid the fee, so I guess I'm going to do it. Whatever happens, so be it.
