This was a run to "try" to get rid of my almost four day migraine. It gets worse thoughout the day and goes away while I sleep but back again when I wake. Got to break the cycle eventually or I will be where I was at July 2007 when I had one everyday until last June. Instead of getting better with the run it just kept creeping in stronger and had to take a strong medication, darn it. After my daughter's soccer team win tonite when I got a huge adrenaline rush the head isn't so bad. We won in a shoot off 3-1. We actually didn't have to shoot our last goal with our best kicker. The original score before penalty kick off was 0-0. It was pretty much a mud fest. Even I was covered from the knees down. We play again Saturday morning. When to get my 20 miler in? I tentatively have 430am Saturday on my mind with a new runner friend that I just learned is also running SGM. She hasn't done any long runs yet (except a 13 miler). I figured we would take it easy to end up at a 9:00 pace, nothing strenuous. My body is wanting to taper. My friend will appreciate this. But 430am? The sun won't even rise before we get back. So we will have to gear up warmly and enjoy the night.

You've had some pretty exciting soccer games to watch recently! Congrats to your daughter and her team!

Good luck with the migraines and the long run in the dead of the night. That's what we end up doing...getting out well before the sun comes up!

Thanks Kim. Have a fun run down Payson canyon. It sounds like a beautiful run. Due to time we are just running around the Cinco Ciudades (five cities, I call it in Spanish- Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Highland, Alpine and Cedar Hills). I made this course up a few years back and fine tuned it recently to land at five potential water stops (bathrooms in just about every city at different parks). I often think of putting on my own 10K or half-marathon and call it Cinco Ciudades with the course going thru all five towns. I don't have a headache today. Yahoo!! I took my antiseizure medication and that seemed to work. Antiseizure meds can be used to treat migraines oddly enough. They calm the brain. Keep commenting. I appreciate any advice as well.
