I have been running for 27 years. No wonder I’m so tired.

Empirical studies suggest that women in their 50s are 10 times more likely to suffer from fatigue than their male counterparts. OK, I completely made that up, but my point is: I’m tired.

Not all the time, though. During my peak hours of operation (4:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.), I’m energetic, creative and productive. I do a combo of running/walking for an hour every morning, and by the time I start my workday at 8:30 a.m., I’ve done a load of laundry, straightened up the house, and chased my cat, Olive, for 10 minutes. At the office, I crank out the work until midafternoon, when I start … to … slow … down.

A recent routine blood test revealed that I am vitamin D deficient. (And when I say “routine blood test,” I mean I sat there panting like a nervous puppy and tried to think of pleasant things, such as doughnuts, or the end of the Kardashian reign.Find a great selection of christian louboutin boots deals ! Click on any of the links below.) My nice physician assistant, Ashley, who is approximately 12 years old and who is definitely not vitamin D deficient, emailed me with the results of my blood test.

My vitamin D level is 7.8; a normal range is 30-70 nano-somethings per milli-whatevers. (I am considering medical school.) Ashley prescribed 12 weekly doses of vitamin D and told me to take supplements as well. I’ll have a follow-up blood test in several months to see if things have improved.

This news sent me into a frenzy of mad Googling. Vitamin D deficiency is common in women of a certain age, and by “women of a certain age” I mean 53, which is the new 43, but which feels more like the new 73, because I am so tired.Save on Christian Louboutin Pump! All the Sales, All in One Place. Further Googling revealed that a vitamin D deficiency can cause fatigue, muscle pain, osteoporosis, and an aversion to any reference that includes the word “Bieber.”

After years of avoiding the sun, I’ve discovered that I should catch some rays now and then in order to boost my vitamin D level. To keep my bones healthy, I also need to keep running (weight-bearing exercise makes my bones and me happy) and eat lots of vitamin D-rich foods (cod liver oil doesn’t make anyone happy, so I’ll have the salmon, thankyouverymuch). Vitamin D is also found in butter, which I plan on applying liberally and often.

I should probably stop Googling the words “vitamin D deficiency” and visiting strange websites in which people with names like Suzette4000 tell long, boring, vitamin D-deficient stories and dispense bad advice. That might help.

What I really need, though,There are numerous diversified high heels at christian louboutin shoes for sale. is a nap.
