What&#8217;s the deal?!? I did give blood last week; I have been expending lots of energy (Blueberry Festival and Jonathan being in <i>Southern Fried Murder<\/i> last weekend, when I was really really short on sleep, and trash pickup &#038; trying to fill a rented dumpster this weekend), but still. I think I&#8217;m not recuperating well from those efforts, either; I push myself and then end up feeling like a zombie for the rest of the day, which perhaps comes from not balancing nutrition and hydration correctly. The other issue is that I&#8217;m back at 120 pounds, when I feel best at 115 and probably 110 is my &#8220;ideal.&#8221; Oh well.

Today I walked the big hill at mile 3 1\/2 which is normally a tough haul, so I got to really enjoy the peaceful woods and admire the sun filtering through the leaves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chris Thater 5K is just 2 weeks away and I couldn&#8217;t even finish 5 miles today&#8211;conked out at 3 and then alternated running and walking.
