Hoffman Park Trails

September 1, 2008 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 85F, hot!

Comments:
I took Billy over to Hoffman to run this afternoon. It was quite hot so I figured the shady top loop would be nice. We rolled nice and easy up to the top, took a little walk break, then busted into the first lap. Will did pretty well but the pace was quite slow, so I had him lead the second lap and try to pick it up a bit. About halfway through he commented that he "didn't feel well" and, like Friday, started hunching over and gagging. Ghee.

After a few bouts of this we just walked it in. It turns out Billy doesn't like to drink water -- like, pretty much none. That sort of dehydration can have some nasty effects on the stomach. Lesson learned.

After the run we cleaned up and went to Pete's Pizza for a "birthday buffet", since Billy turns 14 on Friday and I won't be here. The kid, who normally eats about 40lb of food/meal at home, had like 2 plates and then sat there waiting for me to finish. So I barely ate anything either before we went to visit Brandie and Evan. Oh well...
