| I thought about getting up to run this morning with the tri club, but a late night last night and the general feeling of exhaustion from nursing a headache yesterday convinced me to sleep in. I only had a short bit of time once I woke up to get in a quickie workout, so I did 40 minutes of P90X core synergistics until my voice student showed up. I keep thinking I might go run on the treadmill later, but I really am a little nervous about the headache sneaking in on me...so I probably will take the rest of the day off. | |

| I ran 5 miles this morning in 46:42. My heart rate average was 148. I felt hot and tired, and my head was throbbing for the entire last mile. An hour and a half later, I started a cluster headache that lasted for four hours. What a bummer. I'm debating over whether it's worth it to try to work out tomorrow... :( | |

| I took it easy today...wanted to avoid the headache. So I slept in this morning, then did an hour of Zumba and an hour of Yoga this evening. :D | |

I talked Ben into doing a "long" run of 10 miles with me this morning, except that he was super-sore and I was afraid of getting the dreaded headache. So we ran really easy. I finished 10.5 miles in 1:44:11, and kept my heart-rate average at 140, but it was still too much, and I spent the rest of the morning in bed waiting for the headache to pass. I have NO idea how I'm going to survive the half-ironman next weekend...
This afternoon I went to the pool for a long-overdue swim. I've been missing my open-water swims, so I wanted to make sure to get something in. I swam 80 lengths in about 42 minutes. It was nice to have a workout that didn't leave me with another stupid headache! :D | |

| This morning we woke up at 4:30 and Ben and I met Craig and Breanna out at the reservoir for a bike ride. We planned on doing 2.5 hours on the bike, and I was hoping to get 40 miles in...but since I'm slower than the others, I mostly rode by myself. I ended up with my 40 miles in 2:37:54, and was happy to be feeling well, so I jumped in the lake for a swim right after the ride. I had gone about 1/4 mile when the headache started, so I headed back to shore before it got too bad. I swam a half mile, then sat in the car while the others finished their run/swim. Luckily, it wasn't as bad a headache as it could have been, and after a couple of hours, I was eating a huge hamburger at Carl's Junior feeling ALMOST as good as new! I was really grateful to get a good ride in, and a little bit of open water swimming done. It's been a good day. :D | |
