Recovery

My head's been throbbing ever since that "incident" last Sunday. I am not exactly sure what the heck is going on, but I don't think there's much to fear since I have suffered much more severe blows to my cranium in the past and have come out none the worse for wear after those bumps. Besides, it isn't like I had anything important up there in the first place. On top of the sporadic headaches, I am down with a cold and conjunctivitis. The cold coupled with the sinus problem that has been aggravated because of the chill I got during yesterday's swim could be what's adding on to the headaches. The other worrying thing is the tear (Yes Norman... you were right...) which happened on the cornea of my left eye. According to my GP it should take about a week to heal. It is rather sickening that all these ailments start cropping up after the damn exams and just when I need to start upping the tempo. I did manage to get myself out for a supposed long run this morning, but after about 10.2 km, I had to stop cause I really couldn't take the heat and the "exercise induced migraine" which was really starting to hurt. I decided that I ain't going to stop the workouts just yet but I will definitely reduce the intensity that I'll be performing them at. Let's just hope my body and faith in myself don't fail me now... :)
