The good: I coached temve to another PR yesterday in our first 10K of 2012. And yes, I'm telling that one everywhere, I'm really proud of her and of myself :-)
The bad: After looking over blood tests from 2 weeks ago declared me to be iron deficient (anemic) and scheduled me for 2 iron injections and basically tried to tell me that racing this season is out. I got that changed to a "we'll see" after next month's blood tests.
The ugly: That 10k that temve did so well in? Which was yesterday, the day after the first iron infusion...of course I ran it as well...but not as well as temve. It's a bit depressing to turn in times that are 2 minutes off my 10k best when that 10k is the last part of a tri...
I have a theory...since moving to Germany, my breakfast muesli is no longer fortified as it was in the US, but the doctor hasn't said yet if she thinks it's diet or related to the other health issue I was originally seeing her about. My bet is on the diet changes since moving
We don't know each other, so I don't want to come off all wanky, but unless your non-müsli diet is extremely lacking, I'd think there'd have to be other underlying causes, otherwise the rest of us Europeans should be anemic, too.
Either way, hope they figure it out asap, and it's something easily helped!
That logic would be true, only if all Europeans eat asI eat otherwise...
I do have some possible other mitigating factors that might be interfering with absorption, but none of those have changed recently. The very biggest change since moving here has really been my diet, including the cereal thing and the fact that I don't ever eat much in the way of red meat and probably eat even less now, so that combined with my pre existing issues is more likely than some new exotic ailment on top of the usual ones...
Pre-existing issues would be what I meant, too - i.e. if you never had any problems before, a new müsli shouldn't be able to cause anemia all on it's own, is what I mean. Anyways, here's to injections working and things being cleared up, and you back to running soon :)
