I just hook them in the straps of my pack to try and help out with the whole gravity thing...but that won't help you with running. It's a possible explanation though.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083320662486217952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18252373.post-67376340173319809492009-06-01T08:39:48.416-06:002009-06-01T08:39:48.416-06:00i knew you two ladies would have some good tips!
...i knew you two ladies would have some good tips!<br /><br />i think i am generally dehydrated so this could be a factor and i might try having something with electrolytes while i run and just drinking more water before runs (and during and between...) to maintain a higher level of hydration.<br /><br />and i am quite interested to see what happens when i run in sfo because it might be nice to run without the altitude and dryness of the yyc, but also difficult if it is warmer and sunnier than i am used to.<br /><br />thanks!luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623389405478450863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18252373.post-91819403048034810742009-06-01T08:15:18.709-06:002009-06-01T08:15:18.709-06:00If you don't bring water, I suggest maybe you do i...If you don't bring water, I suggest maybe you do in the summer, even if you aren't running more than an hour, in the heat you should. You can put water in one bottle and some watered down sports drink in the other, and then little water belts that are around are pretty easy to get used to. <br /><br />Are you making fists when you run? I realized that I was holding my hands too stiffly when I ran and they swelled up like crazy. Now, I'm a little more relaxed and they don't get as bad. But they still swell, and I'm pretty sure I can't help it.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468909426842343734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18252373.post-68991489363749671252009-06-01T06:22:11.496-06:002009-06-01T06:22:11.496-06:00Goosebumps and chills when running in the sun and ...Goosebumps and chills when running in the sun and heat can be signs of dehydration or could be a sign of your body not being able to cool itself properly. Did you have water with you? Were you feeling like you were overheating?<br /><br />My hands sometimes swell when I run too. I find that it is most common in the heat when I'm sweating a lot and I sometimes wonder if it is a sign that my electrolyte balance is a little off. I'm a really salty sweater (reading that as the kind of sweater you wear makes me giggle) so I think it usually happens to me when I'm replenishing my fluids but not my electrolytes.<br /><br />I hope that is helpful.kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240103557027301457noreply@blogger.com
