I went hiking for two hours yesterday. It was some pretty steep, rocky stuff. I wasn’t sure how my legs would feel, but given that they didn’t feel as “destroyed” as they did the last time I went hiking, I figured I’d squat anyway today.

I went to sleep with a MASSIVE headache. And woke up with a MASSIVE headache. Weird. I thought maybe it was because I overdid the caffeine yesterday. So, I took two tylenol, a more REASONABLE amount of instant coffee. Not much. I had a cup of Earl Grey, and crawled into bed for 45 minutes. I felt somewhat better but not enough. I took two advil and had a small breakfast. It started to go away. I dawdled enough where I had a smoothie before heading to the gym. My head felt a little weird, but almost no headachey.

This image kind of made me think “Huh, I don’t really clench my abs are part of my cues.” Whether that was the difference or not, I felt like I smashed the weights today. Not much else to say.

Oh, gym seems less packed Saturday afternoon than Saturday morning. Huh, fancy that.
