Blood Doping: You're Doing it Wrong

Six more miles in a running funk. I hate this. 10:15 pace. It hurts, I feel sick, and I don't want to run any more. The whole time I'm asking my legs for more and they reply like Scotty, "We're givin' it all we got, Captain! We can't take this much longer!"

I almost got hit by a car again. I was running (well, more speed-walking) on the left-hand side of the road and approaching a T intersection where the body of the T was intersecting the road I was on. A car came up to the intersection with the intention of turning right onto the street I was on. The driver was only looking to her left, and finding a small window of opportunity, started gunning it just as I was running in front of her car. Luckily she saw me and was able to stop. I usually run behind the car in that situation and had done so earlier on the same road. I was thinking about work at the time and got lazy, I guess.

Geez! Why don't you just come over so I can run you over with my car and you can just get it over with!! Seems to be your destiny! You're hitting the wall that happens when you train for a marathon that says "this sucks. I hate running. Don't make me do it anymore. Why do I run? Can't wait for this to be fun again. Don't remember why I like this. I feel like crying." I remember it all too well. Maybe that's one of the reasons I'm scared to do another one. I don't want to "hate" running again.

It could be that, but I think I'm just anemic. It takes 4-6 weeks to regenerate blood cells after a normal donation and I donated double reds. I'm hoping it is closer to 4 than 6 for me, but I'm pretty sure I'll still be short by the marathon. I should quit whining about it. It's possible a life or two might have been saved and that's really more important than my marathon time.

nah you can whine. As noble as saving a few lives is, You have a marathon to run!! Hope you feel better soon
