The Dreaded Migraine

Yep.  It happened.  Exercise-Induced Migraine.

20 minutes after my last post I was eating breakfast and realized I had a blind spot in my eye.  The aura had started.  I hopped up, took my drugs, took a quick shower, and crawled in bed.

The aura stopped and the headache started.

5 hours later the ice pick has been removed from the side of my brain.  I still feel a bit hung over.

Today's Trigger's

• Dehydration:  I am guessing that I am a bit dehydrated from the Thursday/Friday fast/cleanse/drugs/colonoscopy.
• High Pressure:  Looking at a history of the barometric pressure readings, it was climbing right up there while I was running.
• Lack of sleep:  I have been waking up at 2 am for the last few days and having a hard time going back to sleep.

What to do:

• I don't expect the dehydration to be a problem again.  I didn't realize that would still be a side effect. 
• Not much you can do about the weather.
• Just have to keep working on my sleep diet.

I will probably skip tomorrow's short run.  I usually feel hungover for a day or so.  

I will be back out there on Wednesday!
