I can relate to beating up yourself over the tiredness. I had no clue what was causing it but knew it wasn't normal since I couldn't jog anymore. Didn't have the strength to do 3 miles anymore. My doc suggested it could be my "motivation" and that really ticked me off. LOL. But after being off of th...
