Full Metal Lunchbox

 
Nothing like a routine physical to put one at ease!  Here's how it went:

• Medical Assistant says I have high blood pressure!
  
  
• Doctor says I have a heart murmur!!
  
  
• Doctor says I have the beginnings of a hernia!!!
  
  
• Doctor says actually I have very low blood pressure!!!!
  
  

Turns out the heart murmur is probably benign and the hernia is at least a year away from being an actual problem (which is good, because recovery from surgery would take 8+ weeks and I have a full race schedule this year).  But I still have to see a couple of specialists to run further tests on my groin and heart.  Great.

Other than that, today was a good day.  I'm training a new guy at work and he seems to be learning fast.  With things going so well, I left the new guy alone while Jay and I ran off to Chinatown for a nice lunch of pan-fried noodles and some kind of barley soup.

After my doctors appointment I bought some new running pants really cheap at Sears and then came home in time to have a nice long chat on the phone with someone special.  

Now I'm going to take a nap and then head over to the gym for a nice workout.  Then I'm off to the Hopleaf for some yummy Cantillon Lou Pepe Kriek.

All in all, a good day for someone with a potentially bad heart and testicles.









UPDATE:  After a fantasticly intense workout I headed over to Hopleaf, only to find out that they were out of Cantillon Lou Pepe.  But not to worry--they now have Cantillon Vigneronne, which it turns out is even better.  Sour muscat labmic!  Now THAT's what I'm talking about!
