Flying Pig was awesome! And some bad news.

Don't have time for a long post right now; I'll update later. First of all, the Pig was great! I had some pretty bad stomach issues and it really showed in my time (2:31:01) but it was still an amazing experience. I'm a half-marathoner!

Had a doctor's appointment today and am devastated - I have to start meds for high blood pressure. I am so unhappy about this. I never had high blood pressure until my pregnancy when I had to be hospitalized for preeclampsia. Apparently it just hasn't come down. I knew I had been feeling "off", but didn't know what it was. I am nervous about the meds because they can cause dehydration and electolyte imbalance - NOT something a runner wants to deal with. I'm a little depressed right now; I thought the running would make me healthier!
