Empty Stomach, Strange Run

I probably should have taken the opportunity to eat something before my run this morning, but I thought 45 minutes fo sho does not require food.

Even if I hadn't eaten anything the day before.

This resulted in the most oddly-paced run I've experienced thus far. It was like my run was suffering from schizophrenia. It couldn't decide whether it was a fartlek, an easy run, a tempo run, or a progression run. Shame, really, because the weather was nice this morning. I was so confused and Joanie Garmin randomly quit on me for about three-quarters of a mile.

So next time I decide full-on fasting's the way to go, I'll plan my runs accordingly. Thanks.

Yeah, that whole fuel thing. A body needs a little of that before a run!
