I passed out today. Clean out for 30 seconds. But first things first... AM- 2.5 run, then my toe hurt so much I had to quit (small shoes, I think, which resulted in very bloody toe), followed by 7 xt. Lunch- 6 run, 1 xt. Hot. Very hot. After work, I went to give blood so Marci and I could have movie tickets for a date- I'm O neg blood, so they call me all the time asking for donations with bribes of tickets. I had to first convince the worker that my 90/60 blood pressure and 40 bpm heart rate were normal. The blood donation went fine, until the end when I started feeling a bit woozy. Then, just before I finished, all the background noise faded out and I had a nice dream for 30 seconds or so, before even the dream faded to black. Next thing I know, they are shoving ice all over me and waving smelling salts under my nose trying to wake me up. Wow, that was quite the experience- never happened before. They made me sit in their chair thirty minutes, monitoring me and taking bp (80/48 five minutes after I woke up). Needless to say, I was very late meeting Marci for dinner. And, they were out of movie tickets so will have to mail some to me. I still feel a bit groggy and light headed even now. I think I'll just do some easy xt tomorrow rather than run in the high heat and risk passing out again. My toe really needs a rest, anyways, since it is all swollen and sore.
