An eventful run with Michelle

Comments:
Ran my 3 mile loop twice with Michelle.
About 2 mile into the first loop, I got a headache so I took my headband off. That didn't help and it just continued to get worse and worse, until about 400 M from the 3 mile mark, I couldn't take it anymore and we had to stop for 15 minutes so my head could get better. It felt like the worst sinus headache I've ever gotten times three--terrible pressure and the same sort of exploding feeling. I laid down and just kind of didn't move. I think I was severely dehydrated and the sun didn't help matters at all.
After about 15 minutes of not moving, my head felt better enough to get up. Michelle made me get a drink (smart!) and then we set out to finish our next three! About halfway through we took a planned break in Marc's to walk through the freezer aisles and cool down, then went to the park to stretch and enjoy the sunniness. We ended our second loop going down Cedar instead of Carlton, so we could go straight to Fribley, where all I wanted to do was drink. All-in-all, it was quite the adventure, and I'm glad I decided to keep going after that headache... the second loop was much more enjoyable than the first!!!

Michelle: We should do the three mile loop one more time after we digest our lunch!
Me: And double my weekly mileage for the third day in a row?!?
