This is such a hard balance!  I think I probably am going to hold off on donating again until after MCM.  I haven't since late May though so I feel bad every time I see the emails about low supply.

Susie - Definitely listen to your body! If you have to postpone until October, do it. My iron levels drop during marathon training and I nearly missed the cutoff last summer for donation. And I typically don’t have that issue. I did some research and apparently the trauma of long-distance running causes mini abrasions in the feet and blood loss/iron levels to dip. Just something to keep in mind!
