Day 12: Week 4 Day 1 Longer Runs

The runs have gotten longer today.  About a week ago I was looking at the "training schedule", and all I could think is, I will never make it! 
All that had taught me, is to not look too far ahead. One day at a time and I'll get there. 
Today was fairly cold. Apperently in some areas of the state it was snowing. Not here, but we had a cold wind. My focus today was breathing. For the most part I was doing pretty good at breathing through my nose. The five minute runs were interesting, mostly because I didn't look to see what the plan was today, so the time just kept going on and on. The first one, I started to wonder if the app shut off. But I've had that feeling before. 

When I returned home, I was still in the cooldown, so I made a lap around the yard and it timed just right. Just as I got to the front, and was walking past the porch it announced my workout over. 

The thing that sucked about today's run, is a headache. I had it yesterday and just ignored it. But it persisted and was here when I woke up. After my run I took something for it, and proceeded with my yoga. After I finished that, I started to get an aura indicating a migraine. All I could think was "great, a headache on top of a headache". 

Off to work with head pain galore.  About half an hour later I drank water, ate my banana, and was halfway through my tea when I noticed the pain had gone. I'm not sure if it was dehydration or hunger, but I'm glad it left me alone. I was not in the mood to spend the whole day in pain.
