              I jumped in the pool tonight for my typical 3,000 yard practice.  I felt great after my 500 warmup and 5x100's kick on the 1:30.  I was making the 100's on the 1:20 so I knew I was performing pretty well.  I started my 5x100's IM, my first 100 felt great.  My second 100 felt like something drained every ounce of my energy at the 50 yard wall.  I finished the 100 and hung out on the wall for a minute to determine what could have happened.  I knew I didn't eat a lot today and when I began piecing together my diet for the day I realized I was running on empty.  I know when I have nothing left to give.  I'm sure I could have stayed and finished the practice but I felt like I would have done damage to myself.  I needed food, and quick.  By the time I showered and got dressed I was feeling shaky.  My only close option was Wendy's.  I'm not proud of it, but I let Wendy cook my dinner.  I can't really say I feel good afterward, but in a pinch, fast food can pass for nourishment in some form.
