The Headache of Training
The Rock N' Roll Marathon is 6 weeks away. I can't believe how soon it is. I'd like to be in much better shape than I am in now, but I'm squeaking by on my training. Actually for the motivation I have right now I am doing well to be running 4 days a week. Thank God for my awesome Lexington running groups! If it weren't for my running peeps I'd never train. And of course for coach Gary. AND for Jeannie (she's like totally my BFF from HS) who is coming to run Phoenix with me! Hopefully she won't have to drag me across the finish line.
Weird thing happened while running with TNT this morning. About an hour into my run my eyesight got all goofy and everytime I looked back at Gary I could only see half of his face. Of course I kept running...duh. Then about 2 hours into the run my left hand went completely numb, and not from the cold. This was a little freaky so I decided to walk back to the car which was only a few minutes away. By the time I got to the car my eyes were back to normal but I thought I'd call my Dr. friend to find out what she thought. We both thought it sounded like the onset of a migrane but if my hand didn't get back to normal in a few minutes I should go to the ER. On the drive home my hand returned to normal just as the pain in my head started to set in. Yep, migrane. I haven't had one in 15 years or more and I forgot just how awful they can be. It hurts just to move your eyeballs. Luckily with some Advil and sleep I have had a semi-normal rest of the day. However, for all those chronic migrane sufferers out there I want to say I am so sorry for all of you! owie owie owie!
Tomorrow I will try the long run again, hopefully with better results than today. At least Kelty will be happy to get out in the beautiful Kentucky winter day...cold and rainy. It's pretty awesome.
