Now that my headaches seem to be under control a bit, I have decided to set a new goal for myself.  I am going to train for a half marathon.  They have one coming up in June locally, so I figure why not.  It will give me something to work towards and I can ease back into running again.  I tested myself yesterday to see if I could even run 3 miles anymore and I did it just fine and without a headache last night.  I wasn’t very fast, but I did finish without feeling too winded.   So here is my schedule I will start next week.  Today I am going to walk a mile, run 2 miles and then walk 1 mile.  I am really testing my head to be sure I am not going to get a headache.  I have never done more than 8 miles, so I doubt I will be able to get up there in this 12 week schedule, but even if I have to modify it a bit I am going to give it a try.
