I set a PR yesterday.
I donated blood and my donation time was 4 minutes, 45 seconds. A 4:45! I have to attribute it to my training. I drank a lot of water leading up to the donation, and I'm sure my taper helped as well. It was an entire year since my last donation.
My favorite part of the donation (which, not surprisingly, is similar to my favorite part of a race)? The food afterwards. Coooookies.......
I'm officially on the "regular blood donation" list - I've already scheduled my next appointment. I'm officially starting my "things to do before I die" goal of becoming a regular blood donor. Go me!

Woo hoo!
Such an easy way to save lives.
I was giving regularly and have been out of the habit.
But I usually do that double donation with the MACHINE.
The nurses love my vein in my right antecubital. It's so huge that they salivate and I'm sure grab the biggest needle they can find.
Nice PR! And post race meal!!
