Here's the story of anemia and me. When we all went to the Health Center at the beginning of XC last year and got our blood tested, they told me I was anemic. They told me to take OTC iron supplements, which I did, until the issue kind of lost its urgency after XC and I forgot to take them regularly.

On a couple occasions, I've felt like my iron levels were very low, and the urgency of anemia hits me again. This was one of those runs. It was hot and humid, and I just didn't feel like I was recovering after each hill. This 5 miler shouldn't have been so difficult, and I'm going to hop onto the iron supplement routine again asap.
