pee pee dance

This is a just a friendly reminder I sent to some of my runnin' friends to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. I have definitely slacked off in this area lately....I think I might shrivel up and turn into a raisin soon if I don't remedy this situation (that is, if I was a grape).

I decided to take my own advice and actually drink the amount of water the experts rec. and then some because of my added miles. I feel much better now, thank you. Hydration helps with energy, recovery, battling illness, gives you healthier skin, and staying power during your run even if you drank a bunch at the beginning of the day and don't run until the evening...however it is best to hydrate all day. I know it can get annoying if you work at a profession that doesn't allow frequent bathroom breaks, but try your best. My students think that my jumping up and down excitement over the Mayflower Compact means I'm really into American colonization (or that I'm crazy), but really it's just me doing the pee pee dance. So take comfort in the knowledge that you won't be the only one looking like a fool this running season : ). Dance on my friends, dance on......
