WOW.
You'd think that after all this time, I would have learned the lesson that I learned today. I suppose I'd learned this lesson before, but sometimes a repeat is necessary.
Did you know that it's important to eat prior to a workout?
I got light headed on the treadmill while doing sprints today. I'm going to eat lunch now.

I just got back from running, and it's much windier than yesterday. Severe weather alert and everything:
A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM PDT THIS EVENING.The nice thing is that I ran with the wind for about half the way. :) 5.34 miles, 9:33 min/mi average, 51:05 (6.3mph). 674 calories burned.
NORTHERLY WINDS HAVE DECREASED TO 10 TO 20 MPH THIS MORNING AND WILL
INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH BY THIS AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY EVENING.

Yesterday would have been my running day, but of course I went and forgot my gym bag. This may be an excuse, but I'm sorry, I'm not running in work shoes, dockers, and a polo shirt. But that's just me.
So today instead of the gym, I ran. Lots of wind, too, gusts are like 25 to 30 mph. It turned out pretty well, 5.33 miles, 52:40, average 9:52/mi (6.1 mph). 675 calories burned.
