Sorry to hear about the headache. What about a PX500 black (that's non Stim I think) and 4 ibuprofen? Kind of like a migraine medicine, but not :)

I've been having pounding headaches, too! I swear it's the weather change because nothing is helping.

I'll raise you 2 ibuprofen and PX White... (I remember the old Excedrin (in Canada anyway) with acetaminophen and caffeine worked so well)

Valentine's Day... got the wife a nice delivery of roses! In turn she just surprised me with tickets to see the Toronto Rock (National Lacrosse League). Never been, always wanted too. Gotta admit - kinda cool that she'd go, as totally not her thing. To the ladies out there. Happy Valentine's Day - hope your feeling loved!

Very cool gift!! Glad you had a good time too!!

-43c with the windchill here this morning (that's -45f Kat). "If you spend a lot of time outside in that hellish cold combined with warmth-sapping winds, surely you must wonder: Could your eyeballs actually freeze?...

Thanks for letting me know, as if -43 doesn't sound freakin cold enough! Lol ;) ...eyeballs freezing??!! Really? Yikes!!

Whoa!? What's up with that? What's the remedy?
 
Great workout in spite of no sleep. Kidney infections are serious. I'm sure she is on antibiotics but add in cranberry pills. This is what the doctor recommended for my MIL. All the best to your wife.
 
Sorry to hear about your wife. I hope she gets well soon. You got an excellent workout in despite the little sleep you got. I bet you will be pretty beat later. Good job in the gym and better yet as a loving husband:)

As Mark mentioned antibiotics... She wants to go back to school tomorrow (she's a grade 3 teacher)... I told her she needs at least another day as they want her drinking LOTS of fluids... and she wont be able to do that at school. And a little rest never hurt anyone.

Thanks brother... I actually have her drinking cranberry juice (diluted) as she can't handle the taste full strength. Will grab some pills though if she is up for it.

Pretty much this. Glad she's doing better my man; stay positive. Ask not for an easier path, but the strength to shoulder the burden - this defines you right now.
 
I couldn't figure out what to do today. Hammie's it is! Thanks!

Great work Simon!
 
My Hammies would act like a herd of horses. Charlie horses that is! Ouch! Nice workout after that lol. Ugh - WOD after you do those... Cramp city!
 
New respect for you Simon. It's 1 degree F here and it hurt to breathe the air while walking to my gym 300 feet behind the house! I can't imagine running in this weather!
 
This is how I picture Simon
