• I can not eat right after a run like that. Drinking yes but eating no.
  All bodies are different and they work a bit different. That is normal, just wait a littile while before eating the next time. Let your body cool down. Also, after a run like that, you have to make sure that you walk it out at the end. That will help winde (spelling is terrible) your body down out of cardio mode and be prepared to eat and digest food.
  Hope it helps

• Thanks so much for your advice.  I found out just the other day that I actually got dehydrated because during the run I didn't drink anything.  I always feel that I will get a stomach cramp when i drink or eat anything prior or during a run.  The weather was extremely hot that day and we were on a serious hill for half of it.  I have learned my lesson.  Thnak goodness.  I still run today.  I am actually getting ready to register online for the Mercedes Marathon next year.  I did the half this year, now I want to to the whole 26 miles.  I think I can do it. 

  Do you run marathons?
