I am so off on my training that I am tempted to just keep my running at 3 miles each time I run and stay with that. Ok. I won’t. But that is what I feel like sometimes. I think, there is no way I can run further than 3 miles. But I can. Today I ran 2.5 miles. After work.
Sunday I started showing signs of a headache and thought nothing of it. Monday I woke up and it was still there. I went to work and it was still nagging. I took a couple Tylenol and left work 20 minutes early. Went home and straight to bed in my sweats. I was laying there when my cell went off. It was my walking buddy. Do I answer it….I don’t want to walk. I am sick. I just want to lay in bed. Screw it. I answered it. She asked me what I was doing. Me: Nothing. Her: “Can you meet me for a drink? I need to vent”. Me: Give me 5 minutes I will meet you at El Tapatio. Suddenly my headache was gone and off I went(after I changed back in to normal clothes) and met me friend for drinks and chips and salsa.
I paid for it later. I only had one margarita and I don’t know if it was because I already had a headache but by the time I got home I could hardly see straight because my head hurt so bad. I stayed in bed all night and woke up with it in the morning. Thankfully it went away by the time I had to get up and go to the dentist. Don’t even get me started on that trip. I went to work after the dentist. Then did my 2.5 miles after work before it got dark.
Plan is to run 3 miles on Wednesday and 2.5 on Thursday. 5.5 on Saturday. That will be the longest I have ever gone.
