Dehydration or pending illness? 'eh, lets run anyway.

Dehydration effectsI woke up this morning, and my mouth and throat were super dry.. Almost painfully so.  I thought perhaps I had slept on my back with my mouth wide open all night.. (Which makes me wonder how my wife got any sleep as I would imagine that would make me snore badly!)  I proceeded to drink water to dampen up that dry tissue that was complaining to me..   Although my mouth began feeling normal, my throat never did.. After 130 or more ounces of water (and a couple of cups of coffee,) I still had "that" feeling in the back of my throat.. So either I am getting sick, or I was super dehydrated..

Come to think of it, I'm not all that sure I really had any water in the last 48-72 hours..  hmm.

Either way, sick or dehydrated - It occurred to me that today's run should probably be a relatively easy one.  I couldn't see going out and killing myself helping either of these situations, so starting speed work up was put off.
