Was up early this morning (dang body clock) so I went to the LPT to get in a few miles before the club run. I knew the run with the club would be short so I was glad that I got out early to get in a few extra miles. The battery in my Garmin is dead so I am guessing on the mileage but am pretty sure it is close. Ran 10 miles on the trail and passed Kathie on the way back. Didn't recognize her at first since she wasn't wearing her blue jacket. I was still very early and didn't want to stand around that long before starting up again so I grabbed a drink from the car and headed back out for 1.5 more miles. Kathie was right at my turn around spot so I ran back with her. Met up with the club and ran 4.5 miles with Trevor. Either I didn't take in enough fuel or my body isn't processing it very efficiently because I really started to feel hypoglycemic 1.5 miles into the last segment of the run. I started seeing spots as we went into the tunnel and my arms and hands were tingling. This lasted for 1.5 miles then the last mile felt a lot better. I thought about the pop tart that I had in my car the entire time and that is all that kept me going. When I got back to my car, it was gone. Guess I ate it before the run and forgot. Glad to get the mileage in and despite the 2 miles of being low, the run felt good.
