Hey, everyone--post about fatigue

[hhcowgirl]

Hey, ya'll. Just wanted you to read my post under the topic of "Runners where are you" so you could possibly give me feedback about this weird weekend-long (possibly alcohol-induced) fatigue. Blame it on my SO, his friends still act like they are still frat boys sometimes. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

I am sure alcohol has a lot to do with it. Not only does it dehydrate you but I think I have heard that it interferes with your REM sleep so you are not getting the deep sleep you need. Hopefully, that is all that it is. I have been feeling particularly fatigued this week as well but it is because I am doing contract work for 3 different firms, having to get ready to start teaching in the new semester and not sleeping well. Go figure. No wonder I chose to ride the bike this week instead of run. It's easier for me to cheat! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif

Thanks, Laura. As soon as I posted those, I realized that I was overlooking how much alcohol is capable of dehydrating you--not only did I go out and act like a freshman in college, but I also failed to adequately rehydrate the next days so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it. Thanks so much for responding!
