Monster Headache

HEADACHE.

Bad one.

Persisted through 2 meals.

Persisted through 2 headache pills.

Persisted through homework,

and dishes, 

and laundry,

and journaling,

and scriptures,

and through some bad news.

And then I walked a mile!  

And it went away for a while.

Maybe I should go walk another one.

Nah, I'll just try a different headache pill.

Did you notice that the picture is a hammerhead shark?

Workout with a Headache

I've had a killer headache all day and I am scheduled for a two-mile workout. Can I do it? I did.

Like a fictional drug addict who said "I never took a pill I didn't have a pain for" (Michael Palmer, The First Patient) , I never quit an exercise program I didn't have a medical excuse for. A headache, or cramps, or sore legs, or whatever. I don't mean serious medical things, but small things that I let become obstacles. So I did the two-miler, and I feel sweaty but less pain in my head, for a little while at least. Worth it? You bet!
