Vomit virus...run anyway? (Read 556 times)

I run (or exercise) through almost every illness. I may not run hard, but I run - mostly because its a guaranteed way to feel better, at least for a little while. I've read that hard runs may temporarily weaken your immune system and decrease your body's ability to battle infection - but 1) I may have read it on a cereal box, and 2) even if its true, I don't much care. An easy run feels good. What do them fancy-pants doctors know, anyway? I know one doctor who can't even figure out how babies are made, apparently. But there's one exception to my personal rule: uh, diarrhea. No running through that one. For two reasons. The medical one: if its bad, you may be pretty dehydrated whether you think so or not. The real one: getting stuck 4 miles from home when you really, really gotta go sounds like a nightmare. And everybody carries cameras these days. The thought of what might happen is scary. Although it would make a great running story ... Unless you really want to end up as a hilarious YouTube video, I'd skip the run. Or do it at home on a treadmill, so you can hop off and run to the john if necessary.

Yeah, running shorts are way to expensive to risk becoming Forest DUMP

When you're goin' on a run, and it's comin' out yer bum...diarrhea...diarrhea!

Sounds like a winner to me, if I end up with the same problems my son has.

I have not refilled your water bottle. Therefore, vomiting is dispossible.

Hmmm. Maybe that means I'll be stuck with CB. I think I'd rather have you refill my water bottle.
