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."

HEE! Oh the irony.
Regarding BMI, a mathematician friend once forwarded me an article about why the BMI is complete and utter bo**ocks and needs to be taken with a whole mine of salt. Lost the link, but needless to say, I've stopped taking anyone seriously when they mention the word 'BMI'.
Also curious on the being a size '0' and overweight thing. How??!!
