Pool running 45:00 [3] 0.7 km (1:04:17 / km)
Woke up this morning to good news and bad news. The good news was that I felt much better (in fact pretty much back to normal). The bad news was that overnight I'd developed a severe rash on my left shin (sufficiently severe that I wasn't entirely convinced at first it wasn't internal bleeding). I had no idea what this was or how serious it might be on the spectrum from nothing-to-worry-about through to go-directly-to-emergency-do-not-pass-Go.
The second bit of good news (and it's my birthday, so the good news should outnumber the bad news, shouldn't it?) came from the doctor whom I hot-footed it to as quickly as humanly possible, as he thinks it's much closer to the former part of the spectrum than the latter - he thinks it's a skin condition which will resolve itself over a few weeks with no long-term implications (and the symptoms of the last couple of days are not inconsistent with the early stages of its development), although there's a blood test to confirm. (I was rather amused to see on the documentation that said condition typically develops in people between 20 and 45 years of age - made it by a few hours...).
The third bit of good news was that when I asked him about exercise, expecting to be told not to do anything until the test results come back next week, he said it should be fine within reason. I'm still a little wary about running because there's a bit of swelling there and I'm not sure how that will respond (will try it out tomorrow, though), but the pool was fine.
