Once you have been dehydrated.. you recognize the symptoms easier. Perhaps you need something like Gatoraid or one of those fancy power drinks before warm day hikes..the sweat pouring off you probably triggered it. I find that I need lots more water than some people..especially if it is warm:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-32967355693249795372010-07-13T12:03:20.796-07:002010-07-13T12:03:20.796-07:00Well, it's hard to chastise you when you say i...Well, it's hard to chastise you when you say it all for us!

I've felt like that and I know exactly what it is like. I had to watch out for that in Tennessee almost every day and drank about three times more than Larry to keep my fluids right. He, being used to the heat, drank so much less, it was comical. Now I am back in the U.K. I feel so much better and more normal.<br />Glad you're coming out of it. Take care.<br />Blessings, StarStella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-86868285907087350002010-07-11T07:34:36.764-07:002010-07-11T07:34:36.764-07:00I am so relieved that you have recovered, Jan.

The heat just seems to have sprung up on us. It's been so hot here that I've been reluctant to do many of my outdoor activities. But still plugging along just at a slower pace.

The altitude and temperature ranges seem to be challenging. Do you hike established trails or set new trails? I don't like to think of myself as old either and probably push myself without consideration for the liquid balance necessity.R.
