I'd also add you should also be especially careful to drink plenty of fluids after you donate, especially later that same day, but also the couple of days following.

Some advice to other runners and bleeders: drink plenty of fluids the week before, eat a good breakfast the morning of, and don't workout beforehand. I didn't do any of these things the last time I gave blood and it was the hottest day in July, and I was sick the rest of the day.

In the past, I've found that my runs will suffer for the week after the donation, but I'll be back to normal, two weeks after the donation.
