If you feel like this, you may need this: iron!
I found out that my iron levels are quite low, which led me into research that demonstrates how important iron is, particularly for runners:

Now I'm taking supplements and trying to increase the iron in my diet. I may have taken it a bit too far. I tried a liver smoothie. I'm desperate, okay? I'm supposed to run a 50K race in a few weeks and I am seriously dragging. I thought if I put in lots of blueberries and dates that it would taste okay. I was wrong. And then today I found out that you shouldn't have too much liver. I don't understand why or I would tell you. So now I'm going for pumpkin seeds. I can SO do pumpkin seeds! Bring them on. And a pumpkin seed smoothie...sounds so much better!
