Nico, how soon after you run are you eating? And then after you eat, how soon before you eat again? I have to wait at least 30 minutes before I eat. Otherwise, I get nauseated. If I run during the day, I generally don't eat after I run. But when I run in the morning, I have to eat before I go to work. I eat some oatmeal and drink some milk and then eat again about 2 hours later. What kind of cereal are you eating? I'm wondering if there is sugar in your cereal. You might be getting too much sugar from the cereal and apple and then your blood sugar drops a little while later. You do need some protein along with those carbs. Of course this is all just my opinion, lol. But I do think you might be having a blood sugar spike and then bottom out.

Anyone watch the Packers/Giants game? What a cliff-hanger that was. I went to grade school in Wisconsin so I was rooting for the Packers, but what a great game!

I am married into a FREAK 'Noles family.

I know, I know, you sympathize with me.

My wife, mother-in-law, father-in-law, both sis-in-laws and their husbands all graduated from FSU. UGH!

I am a Notre Dame fan. Have been my whole life. VERY LONG season this year.

My college experience was a very small school. Sports were NAIA level.

I have been to the 2003-2006 FSU/UF games. It is a great experience.

I have been to World Series games, Stanley Cup Finals games but nothing was as loud as Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville. That place rocks!!

With most of the stadium sitting below street level the noise has nowhere to go. It is unreal.

Take care everyone. Stay warm and stay safe.

Sorry you feel icky Kimber. If you're that achy and running a temp I think rest is best. I have run with a low grade temp if I'm not achy, and I've run with a cold when I don't have a fever, but you sound really strung out. I know how it can be though! Taking a rest day is getting harder for me to do

I was going to try for 10 today but only made it 8.5. The last part was I was really pushing. I'm back to wondering if I can really stay the distance for 13 miles... I've got just under 5 weeks to go.

I didn't go into a coma today after eating, but I did get "the headache". It didn't come on for almost 4 hours post run though.

Kevin, I'm looking forward to running through Ben Hill Griffin stadium at the end of the 1/2 and getting my medal from Albert the Alligator . If I make it, of course! I'm only a Gator by osmosis. I went to college in North Dakota and Minnesota. But it's infectious here. I think it's something they put in the water

Keep on runnin' safe y'all!

Nico
