What is wrong with me?
>> Thursday, July 9, 2009
I've been exhausted lately. Last night, I went to bed early (somewhere around 9:00). I kept telling myself at 8:00 it was too early to go to bed, but after an hour of that, I decided to stop fighting it.
You'd think I'd wake up this morning feeling refreshed but nope! I hit snooze twice even, fighting the day.
I got to the gym and did a workout I've done before.
Four rounds:
400m sprint
50 squats
It's not an easy workout, but usually pretty quick. The last time I did it was on May 19th and you can read about it here.
My time on May 19th was 12:28 and I remember thinking then that I could do better.
Then why today was I Sucky McSuckerson????
My time today was 15:30! OUCH! A whole 3 minutes slower and I ran the first two rounds at 9.0mph & the last two at 8.5mph!! So I ran faster than last time yet my time was slower... comes down to the squats then. I guess my legs are more tired than I originally thought from the front squats I did two days ago-- even though I wanted to do more weight at the time.
Some random thoughts going on in my head:
*It's been 110-115 degrees here in the Valley this week, I wonder if this is affecting my energy levels while my body adjusts to the heat
*Since I have to be at the gym every morning regardless, I've worked out on days that should be rest days. I wonder if my body needs a break.
*I haven't been sleeping well... tossing and turning a lot, only half asleep.
Ah well. The weekend is just two days away! I can't wait!

Heat, switching to a.m. workouts, and not taking breaks will definitely cause a body to rebel. You're kicking ass Kelsa - if I did half as much as you did I'd be exhausted come the weekend and sleep like 12 hours a day.
You're rocking it. Give yourself a few weeks to adjust to the new schedule and know that you're body is gonna not like the heat - I have a God awful time doing anything at all in the heat.
My motto when I hit a wall is "Kelsa wouldn't stop now" and then I keep going :)
Being tired could be the result of a lot of things: PMS, slight dehydration, low on iron, new workout/sleep schedule, etc.
Maybe you need a rest day?!
