The Last Week

This is the last week of school! The most stressful, nerve-wracking, heart-breaking week in all of school. Well, for most people. I, on the other hand, have been handing in final papers and projects over the past few weeks, leaving me with only two finals. Not a bad week at all, actually. My biggest enemy will be boredom, methinks.
I got the results from my blood work back last Thursday. I am anemic, which really does explain a lot, but it also makes me think as to how long this has been going on- I've had these symptoms for almost a year now, so does that mean I have wasted a year of what could have been good training? Either way, I'm glad this got figured out before summer. My B12 and D levels were below what is considered "normal," so they were much too low for an athlete. My iron level was in the low end of "normal," which means that it was too low for an athlete. What do I do now? THe doctor told me to take 1000 IU of D and 1000 micrograms of B12 eery day; until I get the vitamins, I will be upping my consumption of all meat and (lactose-free) dairy, because those are the only natural sources of B12. I'm trying to get back on track with my training, with more of an emphasis on running to get ready from Cross Country in the fall. It's gonna be a good summer of training.
On a totally unrelated note, my roommate got engaged this weekend. He had told me last week that he was going to propose, but no one else expected him to do it until after the summer, which made the surprise that much sweeter. They really are the perfect couple, complementing (and complimenting) each other in many ways. No date for the wedding yet, but I know that he'll make sure all they guys on our team are able to make it.
