Today was a crazy day. Kind of confusing and I will try my best to explain because I really need some help understanding my body and what I did wrong and how to avoid this. I have been running pretty good for the past year. I have ran one 1/2 marathon and am planing on running more as well as a full marathon. But after today I don't know if that is in the cards for me!! This is how my day started out. At 9am I ran a 5K in 25mins for my kids school fundraiser, then right after I ran 1 more mile with my 7 year old in the kids run, it was jog and walk nothing big. Then about 1:00pm 6 of us girls piled in our van and my husband drove us out and dropped us off for our weekly long run. I have been running long runs for the the past several weeks increasing them by 1 mile per week. This week I was on mile 10. When i run this long I always have GI problems and usually don't eat anything for fear of diarrhea. But i was told that by taking a S tablet, salt tablet, this will help. also after my 5K i drank some protein and had some scrambled eggs and granola bar. I took one salt tablet when I started the run and one more 30 mins. into the run. I also had one at the 5K earlier that morning. during my 10 mile run i ate one of the energy jelly beans and towards the end of the run I ate 1 thing of caffeinated gu, which i have not had gu for a long time. i also try to stay away from caffeinated drinks because i get really bad headaches. I felt great during the run and had a lot of fun! After the run it was not so fun! I had the worst stomachache, i was in the bathroom. I was trying to throw up. Nothing was helping! it was horrible! It lasted for hours. I finally took some Zofran that I had left over from a previous illness. my face is flushed. what is going on with me?? my body doesn't hurt or ache, my stomach is the only thing that is giving me grief. how do i avoid this or prevent this? Help please!! Thanks, Nichole
