Hi -
I saw the article about your bone density. Have you had your Vitamin D levels checked? About 1.5 years ago my performance was sub par. A good friend who is an endocrinologist offered to run blood tests for me - turns out I was severely deficient in Vitamin D. Funny thing is I live in Florida! After that he checked my bone density and I have osteopenia. I corrected the vitamin D deficiency - my strength returned and a subsequent bone scan revealed a slight improvement in bone density after a year. Deena Kastor who is America’s best marathoner and broke her foot in the 2008 Olympics also discovered that she was Vitamin D deficient - she has also corrected the problem.
