Seriously, I want to test out my new shoes...

I am sad to report that there has been no running for me lately. Unfortunately, I was hit with a vicious headache that was made more lovely by a bout of nausea and vomiting. Perhaps this is what I get for procrastinating on choosing new runners. :P This gig is really old now...three (or four? I lost count) days is too long, [insert expletive here.] I am grumpy. Hungry. Tired. Frustrated. Desperately hoping my headache clears and stomach behaves soon. Ok, just needed to have the adult equivalent to a child's tantrum. Now I feel a bit better.

Gosh...that sucks. I feel for you. One of my tricks I used when I'm sick/injured and can't run is to use that time to read about running. I use that time to do research about training strategies, injuries, or just read blogs...things I don't do because I don't have the time when I'm well. Hope that helps at least a little. Feel better soon.

Thanks, fortunately I'm feeling a lot better this morning so hopefully I'll be able to run in a couple days. It's funny you mentioned that because I got caught up on my latest issue of Running Times. Looking at training plans is also a great idea. That's the only "benefit" to being ill, haha.

That sucks. I get migraines when I am stressed out or have been sleep deprived- or both. Luckily, I haven't had one for a year or so. I hope you feel better.

[this is good]

Well that suck but glad to hear it got better, hope the next post has you out in your new kicks!

There seems to be a lot of sickness going around. Resting up and reading up seems to be the right thing to do.

Let us know how the shoes work out for you!

Fortunately I usually only get one a year or if that now. I don't know what triggered this. It was extremely hard for me to tell if it was a stomach bug and the headache stemmed from dehydration/no sleep/no food or if the headache caused the nausea, lol.
