Got tied up at work and didn't get out to run until after 3pm.  Not my favorite time to run but the unseasonably warm temps (40's) and sunshine helped.  

Kind of a weird run, my legs felt great but I was breathing way too heavy for the pace and my HR was thru the roof with my overall ave HR about where it should be after a tempo run. Talking to Kim she's been feeling the same way so I think we chalk it up to the blood donation last week.

Hope you start feeling back to normal soon! Studies have shown that it takes 3-4 weeks after giving blood to regenerate the hemoglobin lost (but you shouldn't feel bad that long!).
