Woke up with a headache this morning so no long run for me today...

I could feel the beginning of a headache coming on last night and then I woke up this morning with quite a bad headache. It's the same type on headache that I haven't had for ages, the pain is literally just below the base of my skull on the left-hand side so you think it could be neck pain but it definitely feels like a headache. Painkillers don't do a great job either... I didn't drink much yesterday which doesn't help anything so I don't think it's wise for me to go on my long run today...maybe I'll do it tomorrow and take today as a rest day (I'm going to do a good clear out of my room!). I did do a strength work-out yesterday which I quite enjoyed but it was hard-work! It became rapidly clear that I need to work on my core and balance!

I've also got to work out how I'm going to fuel my long run tomorrow because I have run out of my usual gels and don't particularly want to go out because it's not really necessary. I have got jelly babies so that will probably have to do.

Also, sorry that I haven't replied to anyone's comments on my previous 2/3 posts, I will get round to them, promise! :-D

Feel better soon. Jelly babies are great for carbs, If you have some electrolyte drink/powder/tablet to take for drinking that would be good too as the jelly babies don't have the salts that your gels might have had (they might have been carb only anyway, depending on the type)

Thanks, I've tried Jelly Babies before and they seem to work well for me :-)
