Event: NEOC: Nobscot
 

Hammond Pond! First I walked the tempo loop, and then I did a bunch of drills. Fun!

It was a nice break from the rest of my day, which consisted of sitting on the couch, reading a bunch of abstracts, and self-consciously writing my CV from [almost] scratch.

On the terrain loop, I found a nice place to do some reading once it stops raining:)

Had grass-fed meat for the first time! I complain all the time about cooking meat, but I just put it on the stove with oil, rosemary, and garlic, and it took like 10 minutes:) I guess the trick is remembering to set it out to thaw.

I decided my goal for the coming year is to eat more beef, so I also went to the grocery store and got beef patties. They have tons of fat, but also 5x as much iron as the chicken breasts that were my alternative.

Event: CSU Park-O #6: Mystic River
 

Decided I might be tired because the sun keeps waking me up so early. Will put the extra drapes back on my windows tonight.

Didn't feel so great. The last time I was tired and kept running, I was reeeeeally tired the next day, so I stopped and walked back. Sigh. I think it's time for my season break. Even if my volume wasn't high for the entire season, my effort was, so it's pretty reasonable to rest. For me, a season break usually means jogging 30 minutes every other day, but because I'm *actually* a bit run down, I'll do what I did in high school and take it almost completely off.

This is probably not the cause, but the inexplicable tiredness reminds me that it might be a good idea to check up on my iron. I think my doctor's office does appointments starting at 6:30 am, so that would be convenient.

All better!

Jogged to the grocery store. So many veggies, I'm super proud of myself!!!
