lessons that I keep wishing I'd learned the first time

Running early in the morning = six hours of headache afterwards. Bah. Dear body, why do you punish me when I am only trying to take care of you?

(Previously and elsewhere: "a couple blocks on the map in California is very different than a couple blocks on the map in Boston".)

Is it more true in the summer or year-round (thinking towards brightness vs. heat)? Are you prone to migraines? The sun definitely causes me headaches if I run around in it too much w/o sunglasses or a parasol or something.

Yeah, prone to migraines, and it is sorta the same brand of ouch. I don't think it's heat -- I've had it happen in other seasons too. :( Could have to do with brightness -- early-evening-but-still-sunny doesn't trigger, but that's less sun I suppose.

Whether or not it's less sun, I've always felt early-evening-but-still-sunny sun is different in kind from morning sun unless you're talking directly juxtaposed sunrise. In my experience, brightness is ever the archenemy of migraines.
