The last two long runs I've done, I realized I got chills, despite the warm weather, around miles 6-7. I would then have to stop at 8-9 because I was tired, nauseous, and craving water.
This is where I decided running makes you stupid. Because I am a nurse, an experienced EMT (who ran stand-by at athletic events for crying out loud), and an athlete on and off for 8 years and yet I missed the signs of beginning heat stroke o.O (Before my mom freaks out, let me add that I was nowhere near actual heat stroke. I'm smart enough to listen to my body when it starts doing funny things.)
Again, running makes you stupid. Well, not running specifically, anything that takes a great deal of concentration on simply finishing can distract you from the things you should notice. And to be fair, I did notice. I came home and googled them and then smacked my forehead. Of course!
So now I am researching camelbaks. Because I refuse to decrease my mileage and I hate carrying a waterbottle. It's bad enough I have to carry my iPod.
And I'm picking up some Gatorade at Kroger today.
Stupid stupid runner.
