I went 5-6 miles down the highway today. I've been taking it easy the past couple of weeks just doing 1-2 miles a day.

I figured the worst I could do is the usual and run out of energy like I have been. I downed a bowl of cereal, some water, and an energy bar. I filled up my water bottle and another with some Zipfizz that I found at Wal-mart. Wasn't sure how well it would work and I'm generally skeptical of "engery" drinks anyway.

I got a couple of miles up the road and took some of the Zipfizz. I about choked on it and realized this stuff is nasty. Are all these "energy" electrolyte stuff this bad? I'll keep to Gatorade. About a mile later I started feeling sick from the Zipfizz.

I headed back home even though I wanted to go farther (and shouldn't) and kept feeling even more sick, but I wasn't "bonking". Made it home and promptly vomited. That stuff is going into the trash. So far, I feel great and that's a first. Hopefully I won't spend the next three days sleeping it off.

Ick. My stomach still hurts from a quick sip.
