Comments on chasing the kenyans: much ado about nothing

Yuck. Pepto is the WORST. Ugh. I'm so sorry that you were sick and couldn't run the relay--what a bummer! But the important thing is that you rest up and make sure you're feeling good for NYC in a couple weeks! You made the right choice, chica.

Even though I know you would have killed it in the...

Even though I know you would have killed it in the relay, there are more important things you need to worry about, getting better and rocking NYC. It must be pretty annoying getting sick at such random times, hopefully it goes away soon!

Well, I think it's VERY flattering that someon...

2009-10-13T10:38:27.553-04:00

Well, I think it's VERY flattering that someone would look you up from a previous race to ask you to be on their relay team. Glad they could find a replacement, though, so you could get the rest you need.

Hope you can figure out this nausea stuff soon!!

That sucks but you made the right decision. Passin...

2009-10-12T20:16:41.287-04:00

That sucks but you made the right decision. Passing out in the middle of the night would not be ok. I'm sorry you're sick-- that must be so frustrating.

Sorry to hear that Lindsay! Sounds like you had a ...

2009-10-12T19:30:10.469-04:00

Sorry to hear that Lindsay! Sounds like you had a touch of a bug! I can't believe that was your first pepto moment--I lived off that stuff in college--mainly due to drinking too much. I'm glad you made the smart decision. Hope you are on the mend!

I'm glad you are feeling better! Tell us how ...

2009-10-12T16:42:50.816-04:00

I'm glad you are feeling better! Tell us how you are! I hope it's just that you overtrained and nothing's serious :)

Glad you're at least feeling better. The last...

2009-10-12T14:11:44.721-04:00

Glad you're at least feeling better. The last time I had pepto was in college. I took the recommended dosage and a minute later had a glorius pink projectile vomit into the sink in my dorm room. It tastes even worse on the way back up (not unlike the Apple Pie flavor of Clif shots).

I'm sure you'll get the chance to do a relay again (perhaps not in Kentucky) so don't get too down on yourself. The cool thing is that the teammates didn't even know you so they'll just unwittingly let you on their team next time without even knowing you were the one who bailed on them!

Sorry you missed out on the relay. Sounds like it...

2009-10-12T13:59:32.821-04:00

Sorry you missed out on the relay. Sounds like it could have been pretty miserable though, had you decided to run anyways. Glad that you seem to be feeling a little better after the chiro appointment.

girlie dont be so hard on yourself... you were def...

2009-10-12T13:43:26.525-04:00

girlie dont be so hard on yourself... you were definitely smart to back out and rest. i mean you could have gotten much more sick being out there running around at all hours of the night and that wouldnt be good with NYC 3 weeks out. hang in there, hope you are feeling better soon!!

ouch, well at least you're on the upswing now!...

2009-10-12T08:40:47.242-04:00

ouch, well at least you're on the upswing now! Rest up, it's most likely your body giving you the signs that it needs the rest anyway!

BUM-MER. Sorry it didn't work out. I wonder if...

2009-10-11T22:37:51.191-04:00

BUM-MER. Sorry it didn't work out. I wonder if you had some kind of bug? Ugh. Either way, glad you are feeling better. Hope the run went okay!

Sorry to hear you were/are feeling crummy. Hoping ...

2009-10-11T19:05:54.870-04:00

Sorry to hear you were/are feeling crummy. Hoping you are doing better by now and were able to get in your long run you wanted!!

I agree with some of the others. Feeling that way ...

2009-10-11T17:43:48.461-04:00

I agree with some of the others. Feeling that way this often is not normal and totally sucks. I hope you can get this figured out and back to kicking ass! :)

Oh gosh, that sucks! I'm sorry you got sick a...

2009-10-11T17:35:55.254-04:00

Oh gosh, that sucks! I'm sorry you got sick and had to drop out of the relay...I know you really wanted to run. Having said that however, I'm also glad you didn't because I think nausea is something you can ignore and run with. Symptomatic relief with pepto only goes so far!

Hope you truly are feeling better. Don't worry about the mileage anymore. We're in taper mode so we're beyond training. You need to rest and recover and get ready for the big day.

Good luck!

Sorry to hear you missed your race, but I think yo...

2009-10-11T13:37:26.941-04:00

Sorry to hear you missed your race, but I think you hit the nail on the head in saying having stomach distress "would not have been friendly out on the road with the team". Its worth calling it a day and coming back to run another day ..

And yes ... I like the "quality over quantity" .. ;)

Aww thats kind of weird and a HUGE bummer, but I t...

2009-10-11T10:53:04.249-04:00

Aww thats kind of weird and a HUGE bummer, but I think your decision was for the best. I'm glad you're feeling better now...and NO swine or anything, haha. Enjoy your loooong weekend :)

Bummer, I'm glad you're feeling better but...

2009-10-11T09:37:00.758-04:00

Bummer, I'm glad you're feeling better but I wonder what it was? I think you need a check-up!

2009-10-11T08:52:46.805-04:00

Smart decision, though surely tough! I had some random nausea followed by bathroom trips on friday, too. Must be a virus. Feel better!

Glad you are feeling better!!

2009-10-11T08:40:00.637-04:00

Glad you are feeling better!!

2009-10-10T23:40:12.905-04:00

I'm sorry you couldn't make it, but you did make the right decision. Some time these things happen.

I'm also wondering about the whole shaky, nausea thing...maybe you could take a few tests to make sure it's nothing serious. I mean, not being able to see correctly on your run and then at work isn't the flu.

Well, I hope you feel better.

Ugh - you've got a bad case of something. Goo...

2009-10-10T23:15:20.909-04:00

Ugh - you've got a bad case of something. Good thing you sat this relay out.

Get some rest.

Aww, I hope you feel better! But feeling like puki...

2009-10-10T22:12:32.341-04:00

Aww, I hope you feel better! But feeling like puking when you want to run...ugh, that sounds awful. Probably a good choice to take some time off in that case. Get well!!

Something like discretion is the better part of va...

2009-10-10T21:24:51.616-04:00

Something like discretion is the better part of valor. Anyway, you made the good choice. Just like seejessrun said, if you had problems during the race, you might have stopped everybody from running.

You probably just over trained. I do the same thin...

2009-10-10T19:57:30.059-04:00

You probably just over trained. I do the same thing all the time. Take a few days off then get back at it.

Btw I've done a few of those overnight relays and the night van ride is often a very nauseous motion sick riddled experience so you dodged a bullet there.

I agree with Diana. Sorry you're feeling like ...

2009-10-10T18:52:33.208-04:00

I agree with Diana. Sorry you're feeling like sh*t. Pepto is GROSS. I haven't had it since I was a kid. It always made me feel worse. Feel good soon.
