The farmer’s market in October is one of the best places on earth to be. Its practically bursting with beautiful green, red, orange, yellow, and purple things. I also bought some spaghetti squash, a butternut squash, a few pears and some bright red liberty apples. Its all so lovely that it makes me forget about how much I miss July. Sure, you can get watermelon and some early tomatoes then, but October is what its all about.
It was a rough night last night, so I was definitely happy to be out and about this morning. I didn’t feel so great before I went to bed, and then sometime in the middle of the night I woke up with a throbbing pain behind my left eye. Even though its been a long time since I’ve had a real migraine headache, that’s where it always hits. And as always, it was accompanied by several hours of nausea before I finally succumbed to a couple more hours of vortexing. It takes a lot for me to actually puke. There was more than one occasion in Nicaragua when we went back to the mainland over the weekend and I’d feel seasick until Wednesday, when I would finally puke. Luckily for Rob, he is blessed with the ability to sleep through just about anything, so my various nocturnal vortexes have gone largely unnoticed by him.
At any rate, I’ve felt pretty ishy today but I’m trying to recover enough so that I can do my last 20-mile training run for the Indianapolis Marathon tomorrow. This is my peak week of training, and I intend to get in a total of 50 miles. I am ridiculously overtrained right now, but I just need to hang in for one more day and then all I have to do is coast to the marathon.
Alright. Have got to rest now and soak up some October sun.

Enjoy the coast.
How weird... I also had a throbbing ice pick headache behind my right eye last night. No vortexing though. After many stubborn hours, I finally gave in and self-medicated. Relief was sweet in about 30 minutes. Hope that you are fully recovered today and ready for tomorrow. Hydrate up :-)
Mom Scho said....Sorry about your headache, but on a prettier note, you are absolutely correct about the colors of your farmer's market goodies.
You had such a descriptive color scheme
"Its practically bursting with beautiful green, red, orange, yellow, and purple things", that you didn't even need the pictures. But they were delightful.
Nice touch!
and...last, but not least - - Congratulations on completing your training...
