Making myself sick

Today was supposed to be my 11 mile run, but I decided to go last night since today was also Angleton's annual Jingle Bell Fun run and I had promised Kristin I would run it with her. My original plan was to get up at 5 am run for about 2 hours and then get ready for the Fun Run at 8 am. I started to think about it on Friday and said there was no way I wanted to get up at 5 am on a Saturday. So I decided to run Friday night instead. I won't say it was a mistake, but it was not nice either. The run itself wasn't so bad. I was really tired when I got done, but I did it. 11 miles! That's the farthest run yet. Well when I finally made it back to my house I was not feeling very good. I was really dizzy and super thirsty - got some gatorade and then honestly thought I might pass out. I've never felt like that before. To put it nicely I just got worse. I showered and then got really sick! I ended up in bed by 9 pm and was super cold. I finally got better, but it was awful! My feet hurt and I have 1 toe that I'm sure I'll lose the toenail. It's brused and hurts like crazy today. BUT, all that complaining to say it was worth it. I was able to get up Saturday morning and have a super time with my little girl! In 2 weeks I'll try to go 12. 5 miles. Hopefully I'll figure out how to take some water with me, so I won't get dehydrated again!
