I went to see my doctor today because I'm miserable with a nasty cold. While I'm sitting on the exam table holding back my congested coughs, wiping my watery eyes, and sniffling, the nurse proceeds to take my vitals. I had a blood pressure reading of 94/62, a pulse of 64, and no fever.
I'll say that again... a BP of 94/62!!! AMAZING!!! That's a long way from where my BP was 2 years ago. Can you believe I was on BP meds? Well, I was on them and it was horribly embarrassing. So it's pretty awesome that I've completely turned my life around. I've gone from a sedentary individual on BP meds to a highly active runner and super healthy eater that isn't on any meds. Talk about a huge praise report!
So, while I'm currently sick with a cold, I'm one of the healthiest people I know. Go me!
Oh, and on a very, very sad side note... NO RUNNING until I get over this cold. Blah!!!
Today was supposed to be my 10 mile day.... major bummer. Hopefully I'll bounce back and be even stronger than I was before this cold. = )

Way to go! And you should rest. It's so hard to get over colds if you do too much. I had the flu for 3 weeks, thought I was better so I swam laps, walked outside in the wind, and did muscle pump class(these things in a two day period). I found myself right back with a fever and aches! Grrrr......
