oh yeah, that...

post race yesterday, I splurged and ate a ton of queso dip and chips. YU-UM. I didn't get a chance to eat a real meal (ok i was just too tired to cook) before we went to bed. This morning? Up, drank a dew, off to the beach, ate some chips, came home. Upon arrival, fed the baby, both boys fell asleep, and I JUMPED at the opportunity to leave Rich and the kids.

I had 6 miles scheduled, so I went out at a slower pace (about 8:50-9:00). First mile, no problem. Second mile...why am I getting tired already? Third mile CRASH! I was getting dizzy, even at this slow pace, when a light bulb went off inside of my head. DID YOU EAT TODAY HEATHER? The answer was, not really. Never mind water intake, I don't think I've had any since the race yesterday.

oops.

I made it 4.5 miles, and then ate a HUGE lunch. HUGE.

Lesson learned, tough stuff!
