1/2 mary on the JRP. 8:39 pace @ 82°-90°.

I felt like I had a hangover this morning. Not a drop to drink last night but dinner (yuck) and an evening at Lagoon (an amusement park). A slight headache and a sour stomach had me dreading this run. I drank a bunch of water and a guava nectar, took ibuprofen ( I very rarely take any kind of pain meds), took a quick "nap" on the floor of my office, and delayed the start of my run till just after noon. To my surprise my run went just fine. I started slow and naturally picked it up a bit as I went. Now I just need another nap (I wish I had the time) and I might almost feel back to normal.

That run sounds too hot. I took the kids to Lagoon last week, and decided I won't need to buy an all day ride pass anymore. I felt lousy-sick all night afterward.

Did you get another nap??? :)

No nap, but I survived. Thanks Andy, I got your email. Thanks everyone else for the encouragement. Kam, I think it was the food that did me in, but it could have also been the rides. Some of those coasters are so 'hurky jurky!'
