I ran five miles yesterday. The actual run was not so bad, it was the aftermath. I couldn’t figure out if it just flat wore me out or if I was too dehydrated [we’ll come back to this…]. Regardless – it was another mile down, another check mark on the countdown to marathon calendar, etc. Celebrating the victories.
We drove to Mississippi State for the game yesterday afternoon and it was a blast. Paul and I sat in the student section with Loren, and were surrounded by cocktail dresses, cowbells and Chi Omega’s :) Just a taste of how Southerner’s do football.
It was a night game, and so we loaded up late for the drive back. About 30 minutes into the trip I noticed that I wasn’t feeling so great. About 10 minutes later I started sweating and feeling cold all at the same time … there are low points in everyone’s life … one of mine happened close to midnight after we pulled into a gas station. With my in-law’s in the backseat and my husband in the driver’s seat, my limp body could be seen hanging halfway out of the car door. It seems that the earlier feelings [post-5 miler] of sickness had nothing to do with dehydration. Therefore, new low point? Being on a road trip when the {violent} stomach flu strikes.
Today was spent in my bed. Orange gatorade is my new best friend.
