against the current

Tuesday night I felt like crap. Despite the fact that the thermostat read 70 degrees, chills consumed my body every time I left the heat of my duvet cover, or moved my body. At the same time, it felt like my brains were boiling to nothingness inside my head. If I ever thought I was close to death, it was that night (dramatic, I know...)

The past couple days I have had a persistant headache- I never get headaches- and an unshakable fatigue. Not until yesterday did I realize that dehydration was probably the cause. I have been running from 30-40 miles with one day "off" every week.

So I've been chugging nature's cure like no other for the past three day- I even went cold turkey off diect coke (uhem, for the most part). Now I have a new headache- a diet coke withdrawl headache.

I passed this sign on my drive into town and laughed at the irony.


Only I would suffer from dehydration during National Drinking Water Week.
