Water, anyone?

I had to report for my first day of jury duty today, where I promptly was put in a jury this morning. That meant I didn't have my regular schedule of water, water, water, water, fruit, water, water, water, lunch ... by the end of the day I had a horrible headache. I snarfed down a burrito from Taco del Mar for lunch (love that place ... if you think it's vegan, it is!), ate a granola/power bar and a handful of nuts. While that's enough calories, it wasn't nearly enough water. Funny, they supply coffee but not filtered water. (And only had Styrofoam cups, but that's a different topic ...)

By the time I was almost home on the bus I was really feeling ill. A nearly empty stomach + not enough water + public transportation = horrible car sickness. I got off early to walk in the air and by the time I got home I had convinced myself to attempt my scheduled 3.5 miles.

It was slow going, about three minutes longer than my last run on that route, but it got rid of most of my headache. I need to keep running every time I have a headache, its a lovely feeling to know I didn't just pop a pill that does who knows what to fix the problem. Go endorphins, go! We'll see how tomorrow's stint at jury duty goes, I might get an extra run in this week ...

Now I need to go chug some more water in preparation for another not-enough-water day tomorrow.
