Proceed With Caution: Migraine Ahead

I am happy to report I have had a successful training day two.

I was a little concerned because I was starting to get a migraine but I reasoned that I have run with a migraine before and it has helped ... but then I've also run with a migraine and made it worse so I proceeded with caution.  

I had a tempo run@14:16 penciled in but decided not to push it, considering the migraine ...

Stats
Mile 1 15:49
Mile 2 15:34
Mile 3 15:06
Mile 4 13:54

I have to say it felt great!  It felt familiar and comfortable and wonderful!  The last mile in particular was TERRIFIC!  I am sad to say the migraine did not improve but it also didn't get worse either which I will add to the win column.  I was also surprised how I felt like I could run another mile and how I felt like the run wasn't "difficult" per se ... I sweat and I worked out but I didn't feel exhausted or anything ... I'm thinking muscle memory is a wonderful thing ... but we will see how true that is tomorrow ;)

I averaged a 15:05mm which makes me think I may need to revamp my training plan but I want to give it a little more time considering my last two runs were on the treadmill.  I want to do some real world runs before I make any pace adjustments.   

It may be too early but I'm thinking it is looking pretty good for making it to the A1A :)

On Deck
