I had a hard day today. First I woke up just in time to go to Orangetheory fitness. I quickly got my act together and made it to class, but I didn't have time to apply sunscreen. I had a good workout, but I could not understand why all the other people - 9 of them, including one coach who teaches other classes - were faster than I was on the rower. We did the 350 m distance 4 times, alternating it with treads. I reached the required meters per motion, but I still was the slowest. Not that it made me feel bad, but just reporting something that puzzled me.

When I returned, I felt like taking a nap. I woke up from the nap with a vestibular migraine and decided to push through it to prepare for my evening online class. That wasn't a good idea - the migraine turned into a classic painful one and I took my computer into bed to listen to the class. I ended up falling in and out of sleep and now I will need to listen to the recording of the class. The pain is at a lesser level now, but I do not know what the night will be like since I spent so much of the day and evening sleeping. Also, it was the first time a vestibular migraine turned into a classic one. I wonder if that was the result of my not staying in bed with a vestibular attack but pushing through it.
