.....if u had been drinking all night or if u have the stomach flu.....
i dont know much about the running thing, cause theres no way id run in above 90 degree weather (call me lazy). like yellowman said, not just water, but something to replenish your electrolytes.
hey, has anyone ever heard of someone who has died while running/cardio workout because they dehdrated so bad and consequently threw their electrolyes off to dangerous levels? i dunno but im sure has been...
maybe try running real early or real late so the heat and humidity have a chance to wind down.
My first thought is your stomoach was not empty when you were exercising.
As you suspected it could also be dehydration. It is just as important to be fully hydrated before a work out as it is to maintain hydraytion.

I do know for a fact 2 people died during the LA Marathon last year. One was due to a heart attack, I can't remember the other cause right off the top of my head.
I have run a half-marathon before....it really wasn't too bad. I'd like to run a full marathon, but the training commitment doesn't fit in with the family considerations right now.

I hope you didnt die before you read my post!!!
Drinking lots of water while running in very hot humid weather can actually be deadly!!! (I wrote a post about it about 8 months ago and have since then seen about 3 or 4 stories on the news about it)
I forgot the name of the condition..But its not common knowledge that is typically posted at marathons and even taught to drill instructors in the military.
It has some to do with the sodium in your cells.. Drinking too much water causes some kind of dilution of this sodium that can have fatal consequences..(And its has happened more than people think, only its mistaken for dehydration because the symptoms are the exactly the same)
For casual runners, you dont need to worry.. You have to run for very long periods and consequently drink significant amounts of water for this to happen..(you are not going to pass out and die because you drunk a gallon of water on the tread mill at home!!!)
it can take 2 days to hydrate properly, if you are even a little dehydrated, and most people are.
also try some powerade bebfore and gatoraid after working out.
and drink water in small amounts all day.
i think most headaches are cured by the water not the ibu, tyl or asprin.
that reminds me i need to drink some water this morning
