Friday was and will be the last time I donate blood

I tried doing a tempo run for 3 miles but failed (miserably). After about 20 minutes of my routine, I just ran out of gas and stopped. My initial speed wasn't even that high to begin with! Oh well, next time the blood bank calls me in, I would have already qualified for platelet donations which I will be more than happy to give up.

FYI: when donating platelets, the staff takes your blood, extracts the platelets, then puts the blood back into the host so there should be (theoretically) no effect in athletic performance.
