Just call me carrot girl

Back from the doctor’s, and hurray! I am neither pregnant nor dying. My bloodwork was almost all back – there were a few things that weren’t quite ready, but she said they were extremely rare and she doubted they would come back positive, but she’d call me if they did. Anyway, I’m negative for just about everything, with the exception of some silly stuff. For example, mono came up, but there are a few different levels they test, and the old level came up showing that I had mono when I was younger, but the current level shows I’m fine …

To elliptical or not to elliptical?

Ready for the list of maladies? Here it comes. Sunday I started getting a sore throat, and then I didn’t get that much sleep Sunday night, so yesterday I woke up with it much worse. It hurt to swallow, and I just felt achy and tired. I did some pretty intense weight lifting on Saturday while I was waiting on things in the oven. I didn’t stretch properly, and it was also the first time I had really done weights in a while, but on Sunday my arms were sore, and by Monday, I couldn’t straighten them! They’re easing up …

A time to be thankful for the little things

Shoutout to my amazing friend Becca, who just sent me the following adorable e-card from someecards.com: Hurray for no heart attacks! With my luck with my health lately, that’s definitely an accomplishment – today’s malady is a sore throat that makes it really hard to swallow. But I get to go to the doctor in less than 48 hours!!!! Can’t wait.

Thanksgiving Marathon Eve

Last night I tried a new strategy to get enough sleep before my race. I went to bed at 8 PM, planning to sleep until 10 or so when Boyfriend would come over to hang out. I figured we’d get to bed around 1, which would means I’d still get my 8 hours of sleep. Instead, he got stuck at work and didn’t get to my place until after midnight. We still went to bed around 1, so I ended up getting 11 hours of sleep! I hoped that would make me feel a bit better. However, I still woke …

A look into my bedroom and my Sunday

I have a new addition to my room. I ordered it online while drunk about a month ago and it came promptly, but finally today I took the time to color it in and put it up. Montana and Texas have now become high priority states for me to run. Look how much white I’ll get to fill in if I run those! This map also makes me feel better about not doing Delaware yesterday – you can barely see Delaware on the map. Speaking of which, I went to the doctor yesterday. After a brief round of asking me …
