Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
10.00	0.00	10.00

Got up at 530am (first I got up automatically without my alarm at 0420, guess I am easily trained) and was raring to get on my run but I wanted to see the sun and the leaves.....so I waited. I was going to wait til my kids were off to school but I was worried the "ready to run" feeling would leave so I left at 6:50am. IT WAS COLD in my shorts. I tried to take off quicker than I usually do and that was a mistake (leg and back cramps) so I backed off. Plan was to run 10 but I had to run half then half with a 20 minute break to hang with my 12 year old for breakfast and talk before school. Ran 5.2 then after the 20 minute break ran another 4.8. It was then that my joints and head began to hurt. I felt achy all over, flu-like and then dizzy. I was noticing yesterday that I hardly drank after my run while I was at work and even ate a very late breakfast considering my run was early. I think I was quite dehydrated on my run. The dizziness was tough to run thru and I wanted to throw up but I contained myself and forced myself to finish 10 miles. I should have hydrated more, ate breakfast and left when the sun was up. The cold was a surprise. I was shivering. AP for 10 miles 8:26. How do you make yourself drink when you are not feeling thirsty? I felt super hungry yesterday. I have heard that you are dehydrated if you are that hungry. Mixed signals. So confusing. Now to enjoy the day off and back to work tomorrow. Yes that is FIVE 12 HOUR shifts in 6 days. Luckily I have UEA weekend off with the kids.

I am so glad you have this weekend off with your kids, you work like crazy!

Nice run, so sweet of you to stop in the middle to be with your child.

Lastly, I said the same thing about drinking this morning. I know I am not drinking enough. I typically go through 5-6 bottles of water and crystal light. I think my water bottle is 20 oz. Lately, I am forcing myself to just drink the one! And i am reaching for diet coke too much.
