Witness

I rarely get headaches. Unfortunately I was struck with a migraine headache that started Sunday and climaxed Monday during the day. I think this was maybe my fourth one ever. But when they happen, my entire system crashes. The headache itself lasted several hours but calmed down after the drugs kicked in. I was still getting hit with aftershocks even last night. Everything else went haywire too. My stomach was in knots and I was not able to keep in much food or liquids the last few days. I looked at my arms this morning and I know I lost some hard earned fat and muscle. But I know I can rebuild it. My BIOS was flashed and now I am feeling much better. My last workout was a killer run on Sunday. Four days off but I'm not stressing out over it. Do you know why? By missing yesterday's bike workout I was able to catch last night's awesome basketball game won by an amazing team with an amazing 21 year old kid. LeBron is only 21!!! I am not a big basketball fan, but I am absolutely pumped to hear everyone talking about C-Town, the Cavs, and LeBron. "Witness" may be a cheesey Nike slogan, but I am in awe of his physical AND mental game. I can't wait for the next game on Friday night.

Why am I not stressing out over missing so many workouts? Sometimes when you are traveling down a highway you see a sign for a scenic overlook. So you pull off and stop for 20 minutes to check out the view. Sometimes it's worth it sometimes it's not. Well fortunately I was able to stop and check out the scenery and what I saw was pretty awesome. I am a witness.
