    Great job everyone! Thanks for checking in. Today I ran another full practice 5k around the neighborhood (very uneven), and forgot my dang inhaler again, but still shaved 2 mins off my average and 4 mins off my total time. DH and I signed up for our first official 5k next month at the Philadelphia Zoo to support Orangutans!

    I ran 5 miles yesterday, and I felt great while doing it.

    And then, I had a headache for the rest of the day. Sigh. This happens to me every time I run further than about a 5k. It's SO frustrating.

    I'm really debating whether or not I should do the 10K at WDW. I know I can do it, but I'm not sure I really want to pay the price with a headache, or worse, a migraine, for the rest of the day and possibly ruin the whole weekend.

    As much as I wish I was, I'm just not cut out for distance running, apparently. If it's not my hip or knee, it's my head.

    Just venting my frustration.

    Hey BrerGnat,

    Hang in there. Your body will tell you what it wants to do. I don't know your situation but I used to get headaches and I learned for me it was from dehydration. I have increased my water intake by a few glasses the day before a run (I only run every other day) and take in about 4 oz every 20 minutes of running.

    Nat, from reading this thread it seems like you really know a lot about the ins and outs of running so I'm sure you know all about hydration, but I know that for me, once I started really paying close attention to how much water I was taking in, it made a huge difference in how I felt after the run. If you don't think the headache is a hydration issue, maybe it is a stress issue or even a food trigger? Allergies? If you are running outside on a sunny day, even squinting can lead to headaches. Lots of things can cause headaches and sadly sometimes it takes a lot of trial and error to figure it out. Good luck.

    No, it's nothing to do with hydration, food, or environment. It's called "exertion headache" and it's common in people who have migraine. I've had migraine my entire life and get lots of headaches for various reasons. Exercise induces headaches when I go at it too hard or for too long. I can't do really intense workouts like P90X, for example. I CAN do the exercise, but I get a crippling headache from that kind of thing. I also can't do stuff like sprints or jumping jacks. Anything that causes my heart rate to go way up or is really high impact is out.

    Yesterday was a slow run on the treadmill. I drank tons of water before and during, and even had to stop to use the bathroom midway. I ate a good balanced breakfast right before. Had a banana and a Greek yogurt with more water immediately after. Still got the darn headache.

    I still have the headache today. Stinks.

    I'll stick with my 3 mile runs. I can rock those like no one's business.

    Last weekend I broke the five mile mark and felt really good about it. Well, I felt like I was pushing myself in the end and was glad to stop after an hour, but after I got my breath back I felt really good about it. Following the 5k to 10k program I should be ready for a 10k in about two weeks. I registered for one in May up in Napa. I just wanted to get a long run in prior to doing the Disneyland Half in September.
