Had a busy day! Got a viscious Migraine headache this morning at 7 am on the dot. I took 2 of my prescription pills that would work for a normal person of average weight. It hit me within 10 minutes! I was flying! I was so damn dizzy! I actually fell off the ladder at 6 feet up changing a sign. thats when I had to sit down and eat something. pwhew! my skinny bod was overwhelmed! I kicked it though. I came home and did a night run of 6.3 miles and finished in the dark. You know 106th south has been widened and there is a bike lane with extra room to the curb and yet people still seem to drive down the side of the street thinking its a runway to turn right! Oh well. I guess getting hit will teach them! Ill show em!

Wait, you fell off a LADDER? And then you are planning on teaching cars where to drive by hitting them on your runs? Are you absolutely sure the medicine has worn off? You sound a little like a guy who is not getting enough sleep (which can cause migraines, btw).

Anyway, good job on your 6.3!

Good point Lybi! I should totally rock in this half marathon Saturday. Haha, I did land on my feet luckily but will remember that when it says may cause dizziness, for me it means most definetly will cause dizziness for Walter! haha I really hate Utah drivers with a passion. I know your thinking what picture is on my Utah drivers license. I have lived most my life in Ohio and Idaho though so I can vouch that running and biking in Salt Lake area is like going on a bombing mission to Japan, your most likely going down!

Good run. NO MORE MIGRAINES! Good luck this weekend.

From Walter on Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 16:49:14 from 206.53.157.33

I hope to be cheered in you know Bec! I think you should at least do the 5k. If you can't be an athlete. Be an athletic supporter!

HEY thats from Grease...isn't it? Maybe your migraine was from the glue? Good luck on Saturday! I'm so bored at home waiting for my kids to get home from school that I'm reading others entries. GO ME!

Walter!!! You are lucky you didn't land on your head. O.o Glad you are safe...I swear drivers are getting Worse and Worse..I complain like an old lady about it. I always say to my husband, "I swear if that person Hits me...(Some moron at a stop sign who isn't seeing me running right in front of them!)..I'm going to Pull him out of his car and Kick his ass..and will end up in Jail!" That is if I am alive to do it...Then my husband jokes..."If you are dying...laying on your back on the street, beckon them over like you want to whisper something and then when they are close..Poke um in the eyes.." Lol, I guess we get really bored thinking up this stuff on our runs! Anyhow Walty I hope you have a Fantastic Race Sat! Sorry I won't be there to cheer U on!

Mckenzie!I havnt heard from your southern butt for a while! Yes that is from Grease! I just cant seam to get one by you huh? except for ratting me out to the townspeople! haha Thanks for the well wishes. Arent you going down?

JeffL, thanks going to get my wakeup call.

Sammy, I think i found my new fix to feeling good, GLUE! haha jk kids dont try that at home! Walter is not a normal role model.

Missy, I actually almost got hit by a guys mirror who decided to be funny and not get over. I turned around and he had to stop at the light and I ran up to his window which he wasnt expecting and I told him that "I have just as much of a right to be on the street as he did and by looking at the car you are driving even more from my tax dollars." I felt bad after I said it because I honestly am not that way but he had me fuming mad!

From Lybi on Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 00:53:51 from 70.190.199.29

Missy, you made me laugh so hard--that is a great idea...poke 'em in the eyes. Bahaha!

From missy on Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 22:55:15 from 63.224.122.130

Walter, your chewing out of that driver seemed pretty tame to me..but maybe you LOOKED real mean! ;) I think I'm the opposite..I Look tame but am a devil.

Lybi...You know how they say if you rehearse things in your mind..You actually do them...so rest assured I will get revenge before I die on the street. ;P
