I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born. I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband. My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

Heidi ho! I wanted a nice slow run this morning and darn it if I didn't come through! My legs are a bit pooped from the 35 miles this week. YES, this is my highest mile week EVER!! I am thinking I will just stick with 5 miles a day until Painters with a 1 mile increase on the long run each week. I don't want to burn out or worse, get injured, so no mileage increases until after Painters. Well, baby increases like next week I will run 36 then 37 then 38, etc. So just little increases!

The moon ran with me this morning! He was all cute and shy behind the thin layer of clouds! It was 48 degrees! Holy cow!! I almost missed my run. I kept dreaming that I was out running only to find that I was NOT running! I was late for work :( I even had to come home early from work. I have the most killer headache. It is different than my migraines. I think it is the sinus infection returning. I stopped and bought some decongestants on the way home and I am hoping that will take care of it!

I have some serious parties to get ready for. Hopefully my brain will give up and QUIT hurting me. I have never left work sick before. This headach is diffrent that my migraines. The migranes are a solid pain through my brain, constant. I can ignore them. This one is like a little pairing knife stabbing me between my eyes. It is pulsing too. It will lay off and then WHAMI!!! Consentrating is really hard!

Congrats on the 35 mile week!

YOU DID IT, 35 mile week!!! I like your plan of adding 1 mile to each weekly long run.

Hope your headache gets better. It does sound like a sinus congestion headache.

There's a fierce snowy windy storm out there. GOOD JOB beating the storm front with your early run with Mr. Moon. Have serious fun with all your serious parties today.

Okay..I've got the headache cure for you. (I've suffered from migraines too so I've tried a few). Try sniffing a few grains of ...cayene pepper up your nose. I"M SERIOUS. I saw it on the web somewhere as a headache cure. I've been desperate enough to try it. I guess your nose hurts so bad you forget about the head pain or something weird like that happens. Or maybe you start laughing at yourself for being silly enough to try something that crazy and your headache goes away. I'm so sorry about the headaches. I get a bad one once a month with my cycle. Luckily I don't get them when I'm pregnant.
