Central Park Conservancy Run

Well I'll start by saying that post race I developed a low grade migraine. I call them low grade bc it didnt fully develop. My nose spray and allergy meds basically keep me with a low thud in the lower right hand corner of my head. Lovely.

Unclear how I always thought this was hydration related.

I didnt run the race to race, I ran to run with other people. By 8 am it was already in the 80s in the sun and it was hot out. I havent been running outside so it was more hot for me! YUCK. I walked up all the hills and tried to not 'push' it, to avoid any headaches which clearly didnt work. But oh well I tried.

My time was a miserable 46minutes. Hey, honestly with all the walking to not over exert myself (and cause the swelling which causes the headaches) I thought it would be worse.

Onwards and upwards. Surgery is Thursday morning. I think it would be beyond comical if I had the surgery and afterwards had such a great air flow to my head that not only did I not get headaches I also ran faster.

Hey a girl can dream!!

Another 3m

Hadnt run much because I tweaked my back. Can't forget so often that I am not a superman.

Ran 3m at the gym after a hiatus since the Wednesday prior. Felt great to run. I forgot how great the after work run can feel. Totally let's you leave it all on the floor. That's a luxury these am workouts just aren't giving me.

Yoga tomorrow in my living room pre work/allergist. We'll see. It's going to be another busy day.

Saturday is the CP Conservancy Race and Sunday I need to get out on Peppy- poor thing has been couped up inside!

Sinus surgery changed to this upcoming Thurs. HOORAY!
