Today was a very busy (i.e. productive) day. I had to wake up early, go to the bank, literally spend hours extracting samples at work, and go to a friend's candidacy defense. I was not anticipating the sinus headache that lingered all day. I swear, I haven't suffered from this sort of pain in years, but now it's back to haunt me. Lucky for me I still have my trusty Sudafed PE. I just need it to kick in now! (And I really want one of those nice cooling eye pillows shown in the picture. How adorable is that?!)
Despite feeling icky, I did get my 4 miles in (I felt pretty good while running... it was the stopping that did me in). Then I really wanted to go home, but I was feeling achy, so I went to the pilates class. I'm glad I did, because it helped.
I'm really looking forward to going home tomorrow. Unfortunately now I have to drive back really early on Saturday because I underestimated how long my samples would take to analyze, but oh well. Then I can fit in an extra pilates class.
I hope everyone has a magnificent weekend!
wow...is it the weekend already??? Have a good one and feel better!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it strange how the things we REALLY don't feel like doing when we're sick, are the exact things that make us feel better?
ReplyDeleteI know when I'm a little sick, running always makes me feel better. Rule of thumb, though, don't run through a respiratory infection if it hits your chest/lungs! It'll only make things worse!
Keep up the good work!
Hope you're feeling better today!
ReplyDeleteHope the headache clears up.
ReplyDeleteMy son experiences 2-3 days of sinus pressure, headache and drippy nose each time he runs outside. It has happened in the winter on city streets or just today in the spring running through a local plant/tree filled park. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? He used to have a "slight" case of asthma but hasn't used an inhaler in a few years. He is 21 years old. Thanks for any information or experience you might could share.
ReplyDeleteJes...excuse me for using your personal blog but I came upon it during a search and figured other runners following you might have an answer. Thanks for letting me butt in and good luck with your running!!
