Well, turns out nothing is wrong w/ me.

Just the nurse and doctor at urgent care are retarded. It was nothing serious and I don't really need to do anything so I don't know what the big deal w/ not telling me was.

Only health problems are the usual, eat bad and not enough exercise. Ever since my last marathon in October I've been getting more and more out of shape so I joined a running club in addition to the triathlon team I'm already on. I've been doing the running club track workouts for a month now and they're definitely worthwhile. I'm one of the slowest people at the moment which sucks because I wasn't always so slow. I've been running for almost 20 years and while I do have periods of improvement, I also have periods of down in the dumps slowness because I just couldn't keep up my awesome fitness. So now I'm down in the dumps running on the track w/ some other slow people that haven't been running for 20 years and never even ran on a track so don't know what a 400 is and it's probably hard for anyone to believe I know what I'm doing because I'm so slow and running w/ the people that don't know what a 400 is. Anyway, I will keep going and slowly increase the rest of my weekly mileage and we'll see what happens. There's this other girl that's kinda slow and runs w/ me and she has a much better attitude than I do, she's never run track before and doesn't know the lingo, but she's willing to work hard and push me too. So she's turning out to be my running buddy. Last night we had to do mile repeats which were so hard in the heat, plus I'm not ready for mile repeats, I just started back to the track a month ago after a few year hiatus, but that's what the coach said so I tried. Actually my second mile turned into 2 800s but whatever, I still covered the distance. Next weekend is my triathlon team training weekend so I'll finally get on my bike this season for the first time riding nice and slow at the back of the pack. Also swimming for the first time in months adding all that to running too, I'll be exhausted the following week! Eventually I'll be back in shape, I just don't want to push too hard because of my neck injuries. If they act up again I have to see the orthopedic surgeon and I'm trying to avoid that!
