I ran at the oval and it was nice compared to the rainy cold weather out side. I ran with Coach, Christina and Renae for the first 2 miles and then picked it up for the last one. I wanted to run more but I had to get to work.

I went to donaite blood today but I wasn't able because my Iron level was too low. I needed a 38 to donaite and I was a 35 (normal for men is 40-50). I have never had a problem with my Iron level. The tech that was doing the precheck asked if I was a runner. She told me runners some times have low Iron levels. Then another tech asked me if I took x-rays (I was wearing green OR scrubs). My wife looked up Low Iron level on the internet and it said that exposure to x-rays can cause low Iron. But I know I haven't been exposed to radioation. I am always out of the room when I take my x-rays. So, my wife wants me to get a physical to see if there is any thing wrong. You know the heart test, blood work and what ever else the Dr things he needs to do. But I will not turn my head and cough!! I have also been having a lot of head aches that I can't explain for the past 3-4 weeks or maybe longer.

Wow, that is a pretty low iron count, especially for a guy. I usually get deferred since my iron is around 36/37, so I started taking iron supplements which has helped. I think a physical is a great idea. You need a high iron to run, too! The more the better. :0)
