Thanks for the tip on the Omron, Karla. I'll ask them to set it on male athlete next time. I have a ton of veins or whatever all over my arms and legs, too. I was getting a little concerned about the sudden appearance thinking it was yet one more aging issue, but then I read a discussion on someone's log with Natalia's reassurance that veins are good.
I'm off to the gym to do my last Stage 3 workout finally. I'll probably take a few days off making this more or less a rest week and begin Stage 4 next week.
