Should have been 16 km in Burnaby

Yes, I should be posting my 16 K walk in Burnaby today... from Saturday Feb 6...
On the friday @ 5am I woke up with a headache and I was so tired... we had herd health and I had the Sears repair guy show up to finish repairing my dishwasher.  Went out for a farm staff lunch as usual but decided when I got home I had to lay down as my head wasn't getting much better.  After an hour it was blooming into a migraine.  I am trying NOT to take any medication (heavy duty stuff) so decided to go and have a hot shower.  After my shower I rubbed a topical anti inflamitory onto my shoulders, neck and temples.   In doing this it helped keep it at bay so I could do my 4pm to midnight shift.
I knew that going to the walk on saturday would be pushing my body too far... I would surely have a full blown migraine if I did.  So I stayed home. 
The silly thing is I tried to sleep in and I woke up at 6am thinking if I am going I better get up (had to be at the skytrain no later than 8am) but knowing I would suffer later I forced myself to stay put.

No excitement, no drama, no pictures... Sorry.
Next week I have given my shift away and I have company coming from Europe - hmmm, maybe they will join me on the walk... its off to Maple Ridge.
