Soooo since Monday i have been feeling like total crap.  Yesterday i was supposed to do a 35min tempo run, I got 4 minutes into it and had to stop because the blister on my right foot has split open and I thought it was gonna bleed.  I did bi’s and tri’s though, but I really had NO energy. 
hammer curls 20lbs dumbbells 3X10
bicep curls 15lbs dumbbells 3X10
bicep curl machine 45lbs 3X10
one arm pronated dumbbell tricep extension across face 10lbs 3X10
tricep kickback 15lbs 3X10
standing tricep press 30lbs 3X10
tricep push down machine 45lbs 3X10
tricep pull down w/ rope 30lbs 3X10

Today I could barely get out of bed to go to work at 7am I was supposed to get up at 5am to hit the gym, but i just couldn’t.  I was gonna do a 2 mile run and chest/back/shoulders.  I did the 2 mile run on my lunch break,  But I got so lightheaded I literally thought I was gonna pass out. 

THEN! i caught a glimps of my gums in the mirror, and they are GHOSTLY white.  This is because I am anemic, but I have never seen them this white before.  So I’m guessing this is why I am feeling so crappy.  Anemia is when your body lacks iron and so it can’t transport oxygen throughout your body which makes you lethargic and lightheaded. 

So i’m gonna try and eat lots of iron rich foods today and hopefully I will feel better tomorrow and be able to get back into the swing of things.
