Bad day!

w7r1, got up this morning with a banging headache but decided to go anyway.

Mistake!

Did the run but every step jarred through my head but as I'd started I was going to finish and boy was I glad when I had, if this happens again I will delay my run for sure

You poor thing that sounds horrid it isn't fun when your body hurts. But even so well done on staying the course and doing it. You're on holiday, your head is hurting and still you run.... what grit.

Yes it's sometimes hard to judge whether or not to run if you're not feeling great. However you did it even though you weren't on top form, so good for you. Maybe take a couple of days off to recover and then back on track.

Bad nights sleep then ended up sleeping in late so woke up with a thick head, plenty of water today and hopefully a better nights sleep and I'm sure I'll be ok
