went for the annual healthy woman check up today and had the nurse tell me that my pulse (resting rate 45) and blood pressure 110/50 was too low for a woman of my age and something must be wrong with me. The doctor laughed at that and told me that I could skip the bone density stuff until I was 65 because with the amount of training I do it was ridiculous to do a baselineat 62 before I decided to slow down to normal.

She's and irish woman, salt of the earth and I love her. All she ever says about any activity is "as long as it doesn't force you to start popping prescription pain killers, go for it."
