I joined two challenges that will happen in April. One is the 75 mile challenge: run or walk 75 miles in April. This one is for the American Red Cross. I'm going to try to make it running miles, which comes out to be about 2.88 miles a day on average if I'm not including Sundays. I think it'll help me be more consistent with my running.

The second one is a 100 mile walk for suicide awareness and prevention. The Life's Worth Living foundation is hosting it- a walk from Toole to Wendover. It will be a 3 day event with two of those days being walking days. It sounds like we won't be walking the full 100 miles, it'll be more of a relay. But I'll do as much as I can, possibly running some of those miles. I think this one will be far more meaningful, especially considering my history with suicide. I'm excited for it. 

My half marathon I'm having doubts about. It's not this upcoming weekend but the next. I'll see how I feel on my runs this week and decide whether or not I'm going to do it. I know I should probably just try. But I'm nervous about it.

My psychiatrist suspects I have an under active thyroid (hypothyroidism), which can be caused by one of my medications. It would explain my hair loss and sensitivity to cold. I'll be getting labs done tomorrow to recheck my TSH level (which was high last time) and check my cholesterol. I'll be meeting with a MD in mid April to look into it further.

My test results are back. My free thyroxine level was normal but my TSH was pretty high. This indicates subclinical hypothyroidism (hypothyroidism in its early stages). This was brought on by my medication (lithium), which I take daily for bipolar disorder. My lithium levels are still within normal range but on the verge of being too high. I don't know what this means in medication management, but some changes need to be made.

This was to prove to myself that I can still run long distances. I'm still debating about the half next week, but I feel more confident that I can do it now.

If I do run it, my goal will be to run under 2hrs. That feels manageable to me.
