Go to the Doc and he'll give you a prescription for a full blood workup. If that checks out, you should be fine doing what you're doing. If not, you'll have to adjust your water intake.

Can they detect foreign substances in your body, such as reefer? Just wondering.

Anyway -- I don't want to argue.

Let's get this straight: Never, I repeat, never, is the word "English" spelled without a capital "e". Never.

Put a little english on it.

I believe that only a specific drug test for the blood will detect that. I do not believe that is part of a normal blood workup.

You've likely flushed it out with all that water you've been drinking. Unless, of course, you think they'll check your hair. 😕

English.

This seems to conflict with that (from dictionary.com)

also english

1. The spin given to a propelled ball by striking it on one side or releasing it with a sharp twist.
2. Bodily movement in an effort to influence the movement of a propelled object; body English.

So while they have it as lowercase, they also use it as uppercase in the definition.

They're wrong, as far as I've been taught. English is never to begin with anything but a capital "e".

One of my teachers was harping at just this subject the other day. Specific classes, like English II, ect, are uppercased. The broad subject of english is lowercase.

Your teacher is an idiot, to put it bluntly. "English", whether it be the name of a language, class, style, whatever, takes a capital "e".

All languages, even made up ones, take a capital letter. :laugh:

As for the thread hijack, well, I think all his questions have been answered. =]
 
It's ok, my question was answered.

LoKe, I'm not trying to specifically disagree with you, I'm just stating what I was taught.

You doing reefer too? :shocked:

That's not normal (water consumption). I drink less than two 0.5 L bottles of water in my training sessions - 2 hour swim (very rigorous), 100 minute bicycling, or ~55 min weights workout.

I just want you to properly understand the use of the word, and the conditions of capitalization...something your teacher has clearly failed to do (assuming you didn't misunderstand him/her). I suggest challenging them on it and pulling out a Websters or Oxford dictionary.

You're not supposed to drink a lot of water directly before, after, and during a workout.

I've done it the past few days, but it's an extremely rare occasion.

Key word is a lot.
Less than two Ozarka bottles is not a lot. I just take small sips when my throat becomes dry.

I believe it's suggested to drink larger quantities of water a day or two prior to an event (marathon, for example). During a workout, it's suggested to drink small sips, as well as small quantities of water.

every 30 minutes? damn son. I piss in the morning, when I get home, after dinner, and before i sleep. Spending that much time in the bathroom is a waste of your day.

Anyway, as other people said, it may be diabetes. (it was on an episode of House!)

I never said you consumed a lot. You compared your workout consumption (in which you use water sparingly, and are supposed to) to his excess water consumption.

I calculated it up, and I'm putting in ~4.5 gallons


Most people don't drink enough water on a daily basis, but 4.5 gallons every day is so far beyond normal that I agree you need to get some testing done asap ... diabetes is the most likely culprit especially if it runs in your family, but at least its treatable & further treatment is easier & more effective the sooner it starts.
