Woke up at 3 am this morning…with a migraine.
Been getting them the last few days. Nonetheless. Nothing gets in the way of training. So, I decided at 4 am to get up. Had coffee, meds, etc. Then added a post to my blog this morning – see last post “Push Through It.” With head still throbbing a little and nausea just below surface, I headed out. At 2 mile mark nausea begins to build and head throbbing a little more. At mile 3 I begin to wonder if I will make it home before something happens. At mile 3.5 jogging after a brief walk break to get to the house sooner. Head really hurts, face – red hot, stomache upset and yet, I make it and everything is ok. Took another Sumatriptan and sat under ceiling fan with ice on head. I did it. I have a long way to go and even though it is 7:15 right now – 12 hours later. I have that migraine creaping back and building. I am seeing a plastic surgeon tomorrow about a basil cell carcinoma that they have to cut out from a very large area on my arm that already garners a 3 inch scar. Didn’t get it all so they have to cut again. Because of such, this time going to P.S. Tonight on news was a story about how Botox and brow lift with removal of some tissue eliminates migraines (click here to watch) . I’m bringing that up tomorrow – have suffered from such for 22 years. Life without migraines…ahhhh…….
Wow, you are tough. I can’t image running with a migraine! You’ve certainly got some “gravel in your gut”!
