It helps if you eat things: the story of me being a tool.

I went out for a run this evening and it was AWFUL. Like, shockingly bad. Every damn second was a struggle.

I was thinking, "I am the worst runner in the world! Why am I so terrible? I'll never be able to do that 10k on the 17th! WHY DO I EVEN TRY!?" *cue tears welling up in eyes over how awful I am, not just as a runner, but as a person*

Seriously, I was getting all queasy weak feeling after a mile and a half. 

And then it dawned on me that I haven't had a single real meal all day. And I lifted this morning. I got a haircut and was running errands this afternoon, which caused me to miss lunch, so all I ended up doing was snacking a little bit to keep myself from starving. I ate: a 6oz yogurt, a granola bar, a couple of cookies and some chips and salsa. All day. 

Der. 

And that is why you should eat things. The end.

Sorry your run was sucky, but I'm glad you figured it out!

This is why I always carry a couple of granola bars in the car.

And now I'm eating a big ol' ham sandwich with dill mustard. Life is good again.
