[Update: for those of you who were worried, the dizziness was occasional and never while I was running. Please don’t worry – I seem to be just fine and dandy and if it comes back I’ll go get it checked out. I promise.]
Now, back to the previously-written post….
Just when I’m getting totally jazzed on running in a beautiful lakeside setting on nice soft gravel, starting to get that infamous runner’s high and can eat anything I want and stay slim – bang – my brain, or inner ears or whatever, say “Hey, not digging this so much. Here’s a little vertigo for your down dog. Some spins for when you lie down at night.” (No other symptoms, so don’t be too worried. No numbness, nausea, blurry vision, white foam from the mouth, et al.) (Yet.)
Bummer. I started getting dizzy (er,) (than usual, for me.)
Alas… I’ve cut my runs back, reluctantly, and the random disequilibrium has pretty-much disappeared. Not sure if I should step it back up to 3 miles, 5 times a week or not.
Is this because of ageing? Or what? A mild concussion? Am I suddenly starting to fall apart? At 44?! I thought 44 was the new 24!
