It's become clear that Google maps and my car's odometer disagree about how far away things are. While I do have a potential tie-breaker -- a pedometer I just bought for $4 -- for now I've decided to go with what my car tells me rather than Google maps.
I'm siding with my car because its measurement of five miles is longer than what Google maps tells me, and I'd rather make sure I am actually running five miles. Also, there is a recently built road that does not exist on Google maps, and I'd like to use that road for a loop in my run.
But with the new measurements, I was getting to the checkpoints later and later. I kept pushing myself to catch up with my projected times, but when I hit the four-mile mark, I just felt all the energy drop out of me.
It felt like I had run out of fuel. I had not been eating spaghetti recently, and that may have been a factor. But I was very sluggish after I got home. I felt overheated, and I took a cool bath that perked me up a little.
I felt sleepy for most of the morning, and I did not fully recover until a nap early this afternoon. I had not been getting a full night's sleep recently, and this may be the reason. My stomach has been off all day. Let's hope that Thursday I'll feel better.
BMI is still 34.4.
