First off, thank you all SO much for all your care and concern on my morning post.
I think I had you all a little more concerned than you need to be (which just shows me how awesome you all are). I definitely didn’t wake up sick this morning, just woke up very Sluggish — exhausted, and feeling overall run down.
For all you regular readers, you know I’ve been switching up my work out routine a bit lately and trying a bunch of new strength routines.
I think my body is just still trying to adjust to new work outs, and I myself am still trying to find the correct balance for myself. I’m currently doing 2-3 days of strength, 2-3 days of running, and one total cross training day (with variation of course).
Maybe my body is wanting a little less of something, or a little more? But either way, the rest my body was asking for this morning was just that. Rest. Ever since getting very sick after my honeymoon, I am VERY cautious to listen to my body’s cues as I NEVER want to be that ill again.
When my body felt run down this morning, I postponed any activity and rested. I then woke up, did some light stretches, and went along with my day. I drank a ton of water, and ate a bit of a higher calorie diet than may be normal for myself.
I spent my lunch stretching and relaxing
{only the stretch guide. . . not the AMRAP routine}
and feel like post work I may be able to squeeze in a light work out, leaving tomorrow to be my scheduled rest day.
I am going to begin training for a relay in May, so April is the last month where I really want to be flexible and play around with my work outs. Considering that, and considering that I DO feel better, I am confident about squeezing in a possible work out. Keep in mind that if I were actually ill, or if I weren’t feeling better, my butt was going STRAIGHT to the couch this evening.
And quite frankly — I wouldn’t still COMPLETELY rule out that option, if the hubby talks me into it 🙂
