Not much motivation here. I'm still not feeling well. Still tired and dazed. Other symptoms are present that appear to point to hypothyroidism, but the blood test from my doctor came out normal. I *know* that something is wrong, but I don't know how to find out what that would be. Very frustrating.
I ran 3.5 miles yesterday at about a 9 min pace just to see how it felt. I was kind of tired and dazed throughout the run. Nevertheless, I had to give myself a talking-to every time someone passed me. I kept thinking, "OH, SO YOU THINK YOU ARE BADASS, HUH?!?!?" And then I would think, "Hey, now, you are in recovery mode right now, and you're supposed to be running SLOWLY."
Today, I feel worse than I did during the weekend, so I guess even mild exercise isn't such a good idea.
Damn it all.
What point is there to this blog if I can't do anything?

I agree with Chain-Cleaning Boy; you will beat this. Hang in there and don't ever give up. You've worked too hard to stop now.

Could be something wrong the doc didn't test for that isn't obvious yet. Which is hurting you psychologically since you feel poorly and aren't quite up to where you want, a downward spiral. BUT, remember just take it easy for a bit (it can be rough) and sometimes be patient to let whatever develop a bit. In the meantime, if you think it's hypothyroidism, what can you do to solve it?

I got something for you to do: Me and 2 other guys are working out in the mornings lifting weights. We have a nice full-size weight set but are not sure what to do with them. We just alternate different positions and weights and reps but nothing is focused. I want to lose weight, so I am doing lower weight, with higher reps, is that correct? Can you point me to a good website or other resource to help us develop a consistent and focus plan?

It sounds like you are doing the right thing in terms of higher reps and lower weights. Beyond that I don't know. I have never done much weight training.
