Awww, that didn't sound fun at all.  Well you got out of the house at least, that's gotta be worth something in somebody's book I suppose?
What made you get so ill you think, did it hurt too much or what?
Hope you're okay and feeling better now, and not depressed by your - uhm - special experience.
*hugs* for you...

Your friends here saw it even if only in our minds ... hehe.
I am glad you got out today, just be careful OK?
I am just happy you did not swerve into traffic. Take the pictures next time, my fellow tree hugger.
May love find your heart today,

Personally I think that it is good to occasionally really push yourself to see how far you can go, I don't do it often enough. I'm sure that you know the potential danger involved, though and wouldn't go too far. It sounds like a good way to clean out the cobwebs though, now you can be a couch potato for another month! Pity you didn't get to go hiking, but it still sounded like a rewarding day, even if you felt like shit physically afterwards.
I remember one time I was on a school hike, I was just plodding along really slowly for a lot of it while the guys up the front took the lead I stayed near the back, being lazy and slow. But then one day I needed to go the toilet (number 2) really bad and at the current group pace it would take a good hour and a half to get there (and I wasn't about to dig my own hole to go in!). So with the guys that were in the lead, we decided to just really push it. I never knew that I could run while carrying a 10+ kg pack on my back! It was warm weather and sweat was absolutely pouring down my face by the time I arrived at the long drop, but it was actually quite rewarding, especially when I still had 20 minutes of free time waiting for the rest of the group to catch up, after going to the toilet.
It kind of makes me wonder, I mean I've never pushed myself to the point where I throw up, whereas people that are really good sports people seem to do that at least once in their life. Could I really run, swim and cycle faster if I just pushed myself more? Could I have been one of the jocks at school if I was just willing to go to the limits with my body? I don't know, maybe not, but it is still interesting to consider...
Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.

Half wants to say "Awesome" and half wants to tell you that you are crazy.
Why? The hip has to heal
So, were you crazy, or was it awesome?

Thank you Saben. I had some of the same thoughts. But we do not have a hurt hip like Andy. I hope he can go on to do anything he wants. I bet he can. He is a strong person and has a will to bring himself to the next level.
Hugs to Saben and Andy,
Kevin

Wisdom is gained in the palace of excess, one old saying goes. And no matter it's cost, mentally, physically or emotionally (or spiritually for that matter) Wisdom is highly to be prized.
Still gotta wonder what you were thinking just before you reached the point of no return, but you seem to have the right attitude about it. There are times, like a few of the others have said, that you do need to push yourself, to find what your limits are. Just remember to not push too hard. Every once in a while you can come back from the palace of excess with more than just wisdom, and nobody wants to find themselves hurt worse than when they started out.
I gotta admit as well, the mental image of Andy jumping off his bike to blow chunks into the gravel beside a Jersey highway kinda does give you a small chuckle. Kinda makes me worried as well, but the image of that moment kinda tickles something primal in the back of your humor that you just can't ignore, common curtesy and basic human empathy not withstanding.
I hope you take this lesson to heart, Kiddo. You know your point of no return now. Time to take care of yourself a little better. That two hour soak probably was a huge step in the right direction after that.
I do think that you should have taken a picture of the spot where it happened, although not the evidence of the event itself. Just something to remind you of the day, something you can hold up and tell a story about.
Anyways, I have to get back to typing or ppl will send me nasty grams about how long between chapters again,LOL. Just kidding folks, about the nasty grams that is.
Take care, my brothers. Cya on the other side.
It's not the wolf you see you should fear, but all the ones he howls with. Don't be afraid of the song, but don't piss off the choir.

. Since I wasn't supposed to be hiking I figured that i would take my bike up the highway to a diffrent trail head and then I would only have to hike 4 miles instead of 8. 
It was actually a rather unique expieriance. So I am biking up hill two miles on the highway. I pulled my bike up after passing under the over pass. Stopping for the 4th or 5th time since I left my hosue. 
A... *cough* ...Most unique, um, experience...
