BONK!

I don't have much to say. I need to eat more today and tomorrow. I was supposed to run 8. I had to cut the course short and walk home. I thought I ate well yesterday, but I realize now I should have eaten more. I was quite distracted as someone stole my bank card number and cleaned out my checking account yesterday. That made my adrenaline run all day.

Tomorrow is another day. I need to prepare carefully for 15 Saturday.

I am very sorry about your bank account being cleaned out. talk about feeling violated. I have bonked on several occasions myself. Yes it is usualy because i did not eat or drink enough the day before or just before I ran. Nutrition makes such a huge difference while your training. being dehydrated will stop you in your tracks. it is like hitting the wall.

Thanks. I ate a bunch today and hydrated.

Unbelievably, the money was back in my account this morning! I have a great bank who got their fraud people on it right away. I could see the name of the place from where the transactions had posted and was able to call them. So both businesses worked from each end and the money is back in my account. Fortunately, I had a "gut feeling" to check the account before I left the house, something I rarely do, and I caught the two transactions while they were "pending."
