Vitamin D Needed


With 2 broken bones in my ankle and a stress fracture within 9 months, I questioned my doctor about why this happened?  He first asked: “Have you had a bone scan?”   I replied that I had and it was normal.  Then he said: “No one in the Northeast gets enough Vitamin D.”

Since then I have started taking a Calcium with Vitamin D supplement every morning.

However, sunshine is my preferred source of Vitamin D.

Blue Tree resort in Orlando Fla.

A tennis friend won 8 days at this Orlando resort in December (Dec 8-15) and invited 3 of us to go.  Unfortunately,  it is during exam week at the law school.  But I am going to try to go for 4 days (if my boss oks it.)

Last year our best boating friends moved to Daytona Beach. My hubby & I may visit them for a few days in January (around Martin Luther King Day).

Last summer one of my close tennis friends moved to Sarasota.  I also have 2 mah jongg friends that vacation there in the winter.  I am definitely going March 12-18.  And if things work out I will run a half marathon there on March 17!!

Naples Fla

For the 8th spring, 10 of us are spending a week playing tennis in Naples.  The projected dates this year are: May 15-22.

So there you have it … my plans for an increased source of Vitamin D until boating season starts in June.

Happy Running!  Do you worry about getting enough Vitamin D?
