I hate waking up with the beginnings of a headache. When this happens doesn't matter what I do or how quickly I get the pain relief in, I can pretty much be guaranteed a whopper of a headache that I will just have to try and manage till it relents. So after 2 lots of paracetamol and a dose of ibuprofen I can now open my eyes and feel some relief. However it leaves my head feeling like a big bag of marshmallows - all soft and gooshy.I am a bit disappointed because today I had all intentions on actually getting out and riding my bike, we had another glorious day of sun and I was hoping to take the bike out on the road. But it was not to be, so today I will call my REST DAY.
I tried to think what it was that had caused my headache and the only thing that I can think is that I have had 2 fairly intense sessions in the pool this week and my shoulders and neck are feeling quite tense. Maybe I am due a massage.
This coming Sunday I am hoping to go see a Duathlon held at the lakes. Wish I could do it but for obvious reasons I can't, will have to be content to watch and cheer everyone else on. Hopefully tomorrow I can go for a ride.
Animo que seguro que ese dolor de cabeza es pasajero y mejor descansar para mañana afrontarlo en mejores condiciones y disfrutar de la bici.
ReplyDeleteAnimo y seguro que en el siguiente duatlon, participas.
Un saludo.
Angel: Muchas gracias. Este dolor de cabeza era tan fuerte, por suerte se me fue.
ReplyDeleteI hate headaches. I feel like that sometimes when I sleep too late, or drink too much cab the night before.
ReplyDeleteJust be sure to drink lots of fluids. With a couple of hard pool sessions, you may be de-hydrated, but not know it because you were in water.
Take it easy and feel better. I’m lucky I haven’t had a headache for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your headaches. I do not know what causes yours, but I get them when I am not hydrated enough—I actually spent time in the hospital for dehydration about two years ago. I am never thirty during the day, but now force myself to drink throughout the day. I also keep my water bottle (Musselman HIM Finisher bottle!) next to my bed.
ReplyDeleteTrain Smart!
Sorry about the headache, it was wise to call it a rest day, headaches are the one thing I wont train with
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest volunteering at the du this week, I really think you will enjoy it alot and its a way to give back to the race community.
Hey Barbara,
ReplyDeletePity about the headache, could be your body's way of looking for a rest. If I get headaches, it's usually caused by lack of hydration, or lack of potassium. So I just drink water and eat some bananas. But it could be one of many other reasons too.
Hope it's gone by now!
