Icarus' Revenge

So after a glorious Sunday, my wings melted and I crashed into a vicious migraine headache Monday afternoon. Lets just say I had a large empty trash can next to the bed while I slept for something like 13 hours. Fortunately went unused, but oh the inhumanity of it all.

Only to rise again and pound out a solid 8 miles Tuesday night, only to have the headache come back a little Wednesday. Will I ever learn? I really hope that we go back to highs in the 70's.

The crazy thing is I almost convinced myself the migraine was withdrawal for not running for a day! While I am running I feel just fine, it is only when I walk a little to drink water that I realize how tight my legs are. They want to stay bent in a C shape and just rotate on the axis of my hips. But no knee or shin pain, so that is a blessing. Hoping the step-back 12 miles will be relatively easy on my body the weekend. Sort of a recovery run--see how twisted this gets?
