Building on our series to Sun Run victory, the next step to take
a close look at is hydration. Are you doing as good of a job as
you could?  Water is life. While you could survive for weeks
without food if you had too (I don’t recommend it), it would
only be a matter of days if you avoided all fluids that you’d
get severely dehydrated. As an athlete in training, consider
dehydration to be enemy No. 1. Once dehydrated, you immediately
experience a reduction in energy. This can be followed by light-
headedness, dizziness, a headache or muscle cramps. You might
feel hungry, too, when really it’s thirst. Water helps nutrients
travel through the body, lubricating joints, making it easier to
move and helping keep an exercising body at a safe temperature.
Good hydration is also critical for healthy blood pressure.
