headache from hell...

last wednesday evening i completed a great 5.2 mile run on the treadmill...and was SO excited about it, i decided to celebrate with a glass of wine after putting the kiddos to bed. can we say...backfire! i ended up with the most horrible migraine ALL NIGHT and was still feeling bad in the morning...bad enough to have to miss work. i figured the headache(s) had to be from the combination of dehydration and wine...makes sense, right?!?!

while the migraine has subsided, i've continued to have headaches pretty much every day since then...so now we're talking over a week. so as not to become concerned with the headaches, i've been coming up with a few reasons i might be getting them...not drinking enough water, tired, the weather (is that even an excuse?), etc.
this morning, it HIT ME...like a load of bricks (oh wait...that would probably result in another bad headache)...i have these headaches because i have two totally crazy wild boys, who have decided the BEST way to bond, is to have screaming contests! while i LOVE to see them "bonding", i can think of 100, probably more, ways they could do it, rather than loud shrieks! i'm not exaggerating either...this is how it will play out...
andrew will say, "jacob scream"...jacob will the scream...andrew will then scream louder...jacob will then scream even louder...on and on until one of them decides he doesn't want to play anymore (usually jacob) or until i scream that they need to stop screaming :)
and i thought the headache was from the wine...NAH...pour me another glass...i need it!

run...amy...run

PRE-RACE PIC (Susanne, Me, Robyn & Ivy)

I DID IT!!! I COMPLETED THE "LOVE THE RUN YOU'RE WITH 5K" THIS MORNING!!! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW...THAT'S 3.1 MILES. THE RACE WAS POSTPONED FROM VALENTINE'S DAY B/C OF THE SNOW.

THE HARD WORK HAS PAID OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE RACE WITH EASE. THE ONLY THING I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY...WEAR MORE LAYERS, MY EAR COVERS AND GLOVES...IT WAS QUITE COLD IN THE BEGINNING OF THE RACE. THE RACE STARTED WITH A STEEP HILL...BUT ONCE I CONQUERED THAT, IT WAS PRETTY MUCH SMOOTH SAILING. I CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE, THAT I FELT GREAT AT THE END...AND I'M NOT EVEN SORE.

WHAT AN EXHILARATING FEELING...AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT RACE...1/4 MARATHON (6.55 MILES) ON MOTHER'S DAY!!!

AFTER THE RACE, SUSANNE (this was her 1st race EVER...go susanne!!!) AND I HEADED TO SILVER DINER TO REFUEL...YUM! C'MON PEOPLE...YOU SAW IT COMIN...YOU KNEW I'D HAVE TO EAT SOMETHING BAD TO EVEN OUT FOR THE GOOD RUN :)

POST-RUN PIC...GO ADAT REYIM PRESCHOOL MAMAS!!!
