Hahaha!
That's not the first time that I've heard that, not just in regard to how often I take my blood pressure either.
Anyways, I've been using a Microlife arm cuff BP monitor for awhile now and got a reading of 113/64 with a 54 pulse this morning which is not unusual, but my systolic number is usually in the low to mid 120s. After a run my systolic number can be up into the mid to high 130s and sometimes low 140s. I was using an Omron arm cuff BP monitor and it would usually read my BP just a little bit lower. So I've been using the Micro life mostly because it gives me ever so slightly higher readings.
I still haven't felt that great since that last run I did though, and now I'm kind of afraid to go on my next run. I'm not the fastest runner either, lately it takes me about 46/47 minutes to run 5 miles and I'm usually feeling dead on the return half.
