Completed 400 000m for the season with 3-1/2 months still to go. Could be an all-time distance record this season...but I'd need to row 274 000m more to top my distance in the 2014 season.
Took it easy this morning. Going down to
LabCorp in the Loop for my six-month blood draw before seeing my doctor in a couple of weeks. I insist on using an outside lab for these blood tests in order to (1) establish consistency over the years as I visit a range of doctors and clinics, (2) avail myself of their excellent on-line set of archived records I can access from any doc's office, anyplace, anytime, and (3) eliminate the possibility of conflict of interest.
Can't prove it, but some of the in-house tests I had done long ago seemed to be mismanaged, carelessly handled, and perhaps analyzed with the intent of directing me to a certain treatment with an increased urgency. Plus LaTonya, the lady at the LabCorp Loop office, can painlessly slip in that needle, find my shrunken vein, and draw 6-7 cylinders before I even know it.
