When I was in high school I played on the basketball team. I remember my Sr. year for the training that we did. That was the year we started running to the gym from our school. Now that probably sounds odd to all of you that had a gymnasium on your school property, but for the Knights, we required a middle school gym about a mile away. So we would run over there, then we would run sprints in the gym. Of course everyone that has played is familiar with Suicides. They are sprints that run from endline to foul line and back, endline to half-court and back, endline to far foul line and back, endline to endline and back; with no stopping. They are intense. I remember that my friend Tres would always run them, and as soon as he got back the final time he would run straight out of the gym and to the restroom to vomit.
I just got back from a run this morning and it was the worst outing I've had in a long time. Not sure why. Fatigue? Oncoming illness (my inlaws have been sick all week)? Dehydration? I don't know, but for whatever reason I was only running at 60% today. Then to top it off, during my second interval, I had to stop twice to vomit. Otherwise I didn't feel sick, but I don't know. I thought I might share this, and some of you will probably think this is TMI, but runs like that make me want to go out again this evening and give it another shot, it can't get worse. Can it?

No ben,unless you're a heavy drinker it will only get less vomital.
Well, I am heavy, but not a drinker. Anyway, I have been running for quite a while now, but never vomited since I started. It was just a bad day I guess.
But thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to lay off the booze.
