Hi Michael,
I just went to the lab and had my blood drawn. It was early in the day.
I walked on the treadmill the day before- 1 mile- took my time 37 minutes and used those arm thingies.
and the second time I got a reading of 16.6
which is .6 above "normal high"- no treadmill the day before, but carried my kitten in his carrier into the vet, only an hour before the test.

He's a mere baby and hardly weighs a thing.
Do you think those activities could elevate a lactic acid test?
thanks,
Lah
