Honey I Can't, I've Got A Headache

Have you ever awakened with a headache so bad you for a moment thought maybe it was a hangover but couldn't remember drinking the night before? Well I did this morning and of course it happens on a bootcamp day. As usual lately I go through the inner debate of to skip or not to skip but that's a stupid question. My logical side says, you'll regret it more Monday when you've been lazy for 4 days in a row. So I get up and take some ibuprofen as quickly as possible in hopes of squashing this migraine before I head out, I keep all lights off except for one little lamp because every light I encounter feels like the flood lights of hell. I drive over to the Y and walk up to the basketball court. The lights! I immediately cringe from pain as I walk into the court, this won't be fun.

We started the workout with karaoke suicides and knee repeaters, every step I feel the thud reverberating in my head. After a few painful rounds of this we head into the classroom for some timed sit-ups and leg lifts as well as planks and pointed dogs. Though those are not my favorite exercises at least I'm laying down and it's not impact heavy. Surprising enough, I was able to do almost the same amount of sit-ups in 1 minute that I do in two minutes....meaning I need to work on my endurance.

I should have known, when we were done in the classroom we went outside to do our .7 mile loop as many times as possible until the end of class. I fartleked through one lap only to be passed by Beau as he finished is second. I decided to cut out about 7 minutes early knowing full well I couldn't fartlek through another one in that time. Yes I love the word fartlek.
