Keeping runing with chronic fatigue

I struggled to get back to any kind of fitness since having half my colon removed a year ago and was finally diagnosed with Crohn's disease earlier this year.  I'm not on any medication at the moment as everything the docs tried made me ill but am coping quite well by being very careful with my diet. 

I managed my longest run yesterday - 6 miles - but it was really really hard and took me 90 mins.  I was shattered for the rest of the day and am still shattered today.  I have my deferred place for VLM next year and really want to do it but am findinf the fatigue so difficult.

Has anyone got any thoughts on how to keep running with chronic fatigue.

ps Thanks KK for the NACC advice - very useful especially the 'can't wait' card!
