Ten

Just ran ten miles and I feel terrific! Huge confidence booster. I could easily have run another three without feeling too tired, and that's a half right there.

The best part is that I had a headache when I started and (perhaps stupidly) decided to try for my long run anyway. Five minutes in, I had to take serious migraine meds to abort the start of a real headache. My biggest fear going into this was that I'd get a migraine and not be able to take my drugs to stop it (since they work by suddenly dropping blood pressure in my noggin). Turns out that if I take the pill early enough, it can stop the migraine in its tracks and I can (slowly) just keep chugging. So relieved. So cheerful.

I can totally do this.
