As part of my three days of recovery, today was an easy day. I got out for about 2.5-3 miles slow and easy.
I figured out why I faded on Saturday. I had breakfast at 6:00 (race was at 9:00) and my breakfast was small. I think that I didn't have enough to eat before the race and was running on empty by the time the last mile fo the race rolled around. In college, we used to all go out for French Toast together before the bus left for the race. Since we usually had a pretty good ride to the meet, and we arrived early for the race, we had time to digest, but not enough to end up feeling hungry during the race.
I'll have to keep that in mind..
