The Christmas break was a wonderful time to lay low and
regroup with family and friends. I ate a lot more than I normally do, missed a
few workouts (completely sanctioned by my coach, btw…a nice Christmas present),
got a lot less sleep, and gained 5 pounds. The result is, every workout this
week has been a hard slog.
I am amazed at how fast our bodies (or maybe it’s just mine)
rebel when it get a little down time. I know rest is good for people in training, so I really can’t
categorize what I did last week as “down time”. It was pure reckless fun:). So, I guess it’s normal that I would
have to pay.
I think if I knew how hard this week was going to be, I
might not have consumed the #? bottles of wine, the “couple” of beers, the
(shhhhh) 5 bags of potato chips I did not share with anyone. (I am lying of
course, it was much worse than that.) Maybe, just maybe, I would have behaved
differently (but probably not).
Today, I am
finally feel like myself again and it was only towards the end of a 2hr workout
that I got my groove on and my first really good post-workout buzz of the
year…finally!!! I hope this is a sign that I have recovered and that my
workouts will get back to normal. Just in time for the weekend. Anyone up for a pint at Hogan’s?
(Just kidding.)
