Try again tomorrow!
Thursday evening I donated blood and plasma (my sister works for the Blood Center AND I have O+ blood, so she has me donate often). They told me not to run for at least 12 hours. Ok, so I didn't run yesterday. I thought, however, that I could tackle 11 miles today.
Nope. I started at 5am (and when Bill, Emily and Beverly found me they fussed at me for running alone out there), and made it three miles before giving up. I had to meet June, because I was going to join her for her 7 mile, to add to mine, and tell her I felt like crap. I think it was the combination of the massive humidity and the blood loss. So I went back home and went straight back to bed and slept for an extra 3 hours. I'm going to hit the gym later and then tomorrow morning (not at 5, so as to not get yelled at) and try again for 8-11 miles. I e-mailed Christine, because I realized I need to do two 11-12 mile runs while in NY for 10 days, because I cannot get behind! My half-marathon is two months away and I need to get my miles back up, comfortably.
Oh, well. I'll worry about that later. Tomorrow I WILL do 11 miles, although it'll be hot. I will hydrate oodles today.
Oh, and the bright side: my cholesterol was 132! Woo-hoo! My arteries aren't clogging... yet.
Cheers!

Humidity was indeed in fine form this morning!
Dave Smart, Joe, Edwin and I got 11.2 in and Cassie and David Dykas got in 6. The four of saw Erin and ran with her a little bit!
Just knock it out tomorrow!
