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!

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me.

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.

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.
