I’m in good company then, Dave! Also it’s like 3.5 months until Raw Oats, and I’m already thinking about my total. Ugh!

And then I called it there, after kind of just punching the clock on this day 4. I’ve got anemia that’s now affecting life and training, so I’m running out of training steam WAY too early (also nauseous most of the time and getting sick during training many days), so honestly after gritting my teeth and getting through Day 1 and 2 every week, the rest of my training has been a mental and physical struggle for a couple of months now. It’s not fun, but it’s correctable, and I’ll live, so hopefully this will all be easier to get done pretty soon!

Sorry to hear about this, Leah! Are you seeing someone about this? I don’t know anything about how anemia is treated. Is it something that can be corrected via medication or something like that?
