……….but I am.
I just heard from my doctor, turns out I have rather low iron levels. Considering no red meat has passed my lips in about 12 years, I don’t take supplements (apart from what is in my breakfast cereal) and this is the first time I have been tested I really shouldn’t be all that surprised.
Just another dent in my armour, why do I think I am bullet proof?
I do fatigue easily and often feel wiped out and get dizzy from time to time, I just put it down to long hours and not enough sleep. It is a state of being that I have come to accept over the years and despite not being a meat eater I never made the connection.
So off to the chemist for me to pick up something called Ferro-C which I have to take for 6 weeks and then proffer a vein for another blood test.
Look out, I’ll be turbo charged in no time.
And the first person to suggest I eat steak gets a punch in the head.
But considering I fight like a girl it’s a pretty empty threat really 
Haven’t run yet today, I will do another 30 minutes around the reserve tonight before heading down the coast. Now that I am allowed to start looking for some pace again I think I might do a progressive run over 3 lots of 10 minutes, nothing too outrageous just a gradual upping of the pace. In an ideal world I’d be looking for something faster than 32 minutes for the 6km XC, however restraint is the order of the day and I must be sensible 
And Sparkie you cheeky bugger, of course I can run 8Km in less than 45 minutes, I am recovering from 2 stress fractures, cut me some slack
