Life after the run
After exercising three days in a row at the beginning of this week, I found myself dazed and confused on Thursday night. Every time I got up the room would spin and I was completely disoriented in my own livingroom. It suddenly occurred to me that I might be dehydrated after all that exercise, I have a tendency to dry out easily. Looked online, and sure enough, both those symptoms can be associated with dehydration. Talk about scary! Also had pretty much every other symptom on the list, including pronounced circles under my eyes (never knew that was a symptom). Sent Tim to the gas station across the street to stock up on Gatorade and proceeded to lie on the couch and drink Gatorade for the next 24 hours. Thankfully the dizziness and confusion subsided on Friday.
Will have to title my next post “Life on the couch”…
