Every Run is a Great Run!

I was hoping you were going to be able to fight off that migraine. Sorry that it hit. I hope you are feeling OK now. Let me know if you need me to bring you something or come and bring you home.

Thanks Kim. I'm OK now, just had to wait it out which luckily only took an hour. Like I mentioned to you earlier..the good news is that I haven't had one of these for a long time where I used to get about 1 every month or 2. I think getting enough sleep, reducing stress, and keeping a good diet are the keys. We didn't exactly do so well in any of those areas over the weekend did we?

But hey I had so much fun doing the RaceAllNight thing I don't mind paying for it with a 1-hour migraine. Looking forward to doing it again, or at least maybe doing some more of our own flavor of ED ("Extreme Dating" - my new name for the kind of stuff we did Fri/Sat). We still going to take the family and walk some llamas tonight?

You betcha on the llama walking, the kids will love it! I'm sure my dad will like that we include him in our dating too! (to others who don't know, his name is ED).

Glad you're feeling better. Those migraines can be nasty affairs. I loved reading your blog entry on Saturday. Just one of those events would qualify for a pretty fun date. You and Kim are just amazing.

I found your keys for avoiding migraines (enough sleep, reducing stress, good diet) very interesting. Karen has some history of migraines in her family, and my 19 year old son is currently battling chronic migraines. Our family doctor tried a couple of medications unsuccessfully. We took him to a neurologist last week who has him on yet another medication to try for a few weeks. I'm a little wary of all those drugs and their side effects. While they may very well be necessary (if we can find the right one), I think your keys of enough sleep, reducing stress, good diet, and maybe adding regular exercise (as a couple of doctors have suggested) would do him a world of good.

Paul,

We also found that with our son and migraines, keeping well hydrated has been a big factor. Good luck with your son.

I want to know about this walking Llamas thing, that sounds kinda wild and crazy!

My brother Curtis use to get those darn migraines, but since he has started running and exercising he has them less frequent.

Clay - I think they'll let you walk the llamas down at the Krishna temple most any time ($2 I think???). They have a little obstacle course you walk them through, I guess they use the llamas to pack stuff on hikes in the mountains and so they do the obstacle course thing to train them to handle the trails better.

Tom, are those Llamas spitters? Be careful, stay dry. Hill repeats, speed work in disguise. Nice plan to get hard core hill speedwork for strength. Great times at St.George are made or broken on the hills.
