12/18/2005 - Dehydrating in upstate NY

I learned an interesting lesson today. To save you some suspense, I managed 28,600 steps today. How? Starts off with my eldest's birthday party (lots of sheepdogging). Follow up with a 3 mile walk to fetch the groceries (no 20 lb bags of salt this time). Finally, I spent 1.5 hours walking the baby while my wife was out with Autumn.

When my wife came home (~10PM) I flopped into bed with the eldest and passed out. Somewhere around 2AM, I woke up with the room spinning and my head throbbing. I recognized the sensation instantly from a night after spending too much time in the sun with JIV in AZ. I was suffering from insufficient hydration.

I was amazed. 28,600 steps is nearly 13 miles, but I had done it slowly over a period of 16 hours. I had had 3 meals in the interim and surely I had drunk something. Apparantly not enough.

I sometimes find it difficult to think of my walking as exercise, but I think that I now have some modicum of evidence that I should. Lesson learned.

Will I try for 30,000 again some day? Probably. But next time I will remember to drink more.

28,600 parched steps today. Cheers,
