I'm a loser

Had to make the call of shame this morning to inform Bruce, Geezer, Larry and Meredith that I wouldn't make the run this morning. It expecially sucks, since I'm the one that put the whole thing together.

But, I'm still beat up from dehydration, and adding the UT game certainly didn't help. I don't think it hurt much, as I still came home and weighed myself and had gained back 6lbs!
Like a boxer, I was able to drink drink drink and eat eat eat and gained a ton of weight back since Saturday's run. What's interesting is that, I didn't have to pee a single time from the end of my run at 8:30am until i got home at 10:45pm. Not once. I drank 3 small water bottles (500ml) and 1 large (1 liter) during the game. I drank 2 500ml liter bottles before the game. i drank 2 beers. I drank a 20oz water bottle after the run. I drank two chocolate milks. I drank 2 youghurts. I drank another 26oz water bottle when i got home from the run. And I ate a bunch at home and at the tailgate.

Nonetheless, i was hopeful that I'd be feeling like a champ this morning so i could run, but it's just not there. Not wise.

Instead, i'll pull a marathon couch session with football, and other, while stuffing my face with more hydration and food.

he was so delirious yesterday that he thought it was today...I don't think he ran, and we missed him. Or at least Flyer, Paul, and I missed him!
