ran the virginia beach half marathon three days ago. my time was disappointing at 3:10, but i developed a horrible migraine about three hours after finishing. it has been a long time since i have had a migraine that intense for no reason. they have been under great control for the last year. i did not even pack my heating pad. i learned that lesson the hard way. i have no idea what i would have done if the migraine would have struck during the race. i would have been in the middle of 20,000 people and in agony. we traveled home yesterday, and i was in no shape to drive. i still am having some pain from the migraine. i was hoping to run at the gym today, but am still wiped out from the headache. the positive side of this migraine is that it was so intense that it required a lot of pain medicine, and because of that i noticed no adverse effects in my legs, no soreness, from running the half. i had no problems with running around the office today.
peter was in a bad mood for much of the trip. as it turned out he wanted to go out and listen to music friday night. i suspected that on friday, and asked him then if he wanted to go, i said i was up for it even though i was tired. i figured i could sleep in on saturday morning. he could have even gone by himself if he wanted, and he knew that. there was no reason for him to take that out on me because he made a bad decision, one against what i told him to make.
flu shots have begun. i have out 19 flu shots in addition to my regular duties. yeah! things are only going to get busier at work in the next few weeks. the advantage of starting earlier with flu shots is that the season is spread out over an additional month. october and november will not be so busy this way.
