Surprised at how tired I was over the weekend, then it dawned on me that maybe it was a result of donating blood Friday afternoon. (first time donating in many years). Did a quick google search and discovered that many athletes don't donate blood because it hampers their performance for a few weeks. Others still donate, but make sure to only do it after a big race, when they are in a recovery zone. Anyone have any experience with the effects of donating blood on their energy level and running performance?
I'm not a vegetarian, but my daughter is, and I just happened to eat vegetarian all weekend with her, and didn't even think about eating high iron food. Hum, better 'beef up' my diet with some eggs, lentil/spinach soup, raisin bran, dried fruits, and perhaps canned sardines (oh, I bet my office won't like me if I bring in sardines for lunch!). I might even consider eating some red meat :).
Hope to find time this evening to at log a few more miles. . . |
