AM: doctor appointment. What I think is an umbilical hernia. Not sure yet. Hope it doesn't require surgery even though it would me minor. Did manage to impress the nurse with a 37 pulse rate. Might be a new record. I told her it was pretty much 38-42 when I'm in good shape so she didn't have to call for a crash cart.

Nothing to be concerned about. I know better than to do my research online.

PM: North side - 9.35 miles, averaged 7:51. Did some strides.

Pre-bed: 30 minutes of rolling, stretching, and core.

Newton Gravity LE Miles: 9.25

Did they use a electronic BP cart? Those things will go nuts w/ a HR under 45!

What's w/ all the hernias around here? Too much heavy weight lifting.

No, she just asked if I had a heart condition. I told her it was slightly below normal but that I must be getting in good shape if I was drinking coffee and walking around and it was still 37.

It turns out that it is some sort of minor infection. I thought from planking or some other core work that I did it, but she seemed unconcerned. The type of hernia I thought it was would have required very light surgery, but short of a tooth being pulled, any surgery during a marathon buildup is major.
