Lighter WOD This Morning, Still Feeling Run Down From Rowing The Half Marathon

This morning I woke feeling a lot better and a bit more energetic than yesterday. I rowed that half marathon on Monday and that took everything out of me. I have not really trained the longer stuff like I had in the past when I rowed 21,000 meters. It didn’t help that I did not sleep so well on Monday night because we ate supper late.

This morning I was feeling better though. I did not sleep nearly long enough but I did sleep well when I did. While my head was still super stuffy it is feeling better. I am was still feeling a bit rundown but not as bad as yesterday or even Monday after that longer workout. Monday I was absolutely dead after I got off the rower.

I laid around in bed half the morning scrolling, reading and what not on my tablet. I think I might have even fallen asleep for a quick catnap. I wasn’t aware of waking up but I felt like I lost a bit of time. I was thinking from early this morning I wanted to get an quick and easy WOD in. Easy means not full intensity or as heavy as I normally would go.

I knew I was going to pass on my lifts for another day. My late ais a bit angry from all that pulling in a good way but it’s also pulling at my neck just a little. Even that feels better today.

Finally around mid morning I go changed and went out into the home gym to get some work in. I settled on an on ramp WOD with just hop overs and hang power snatches. On this day I went with the lighter than normal 25 pounds with the stuff shoulder. They felt great. The hopovers though were far worse than normal. I kept feeling like I had two left feet or something and felt like I was tripping over my own damn feet. To make matters worse it felt like my shoes were full of lead, no make that mercury. That’s heavier.

My resting heart rate was still up a little bit last night and it seemed to be a little higher during the WOD. My body is still recovering so that is to be expected. The workout today felt much better than I expected it to feel even if I was tripping over my own feet and stuff.

Eating something and then getting a shower after I was done never felt so good! I did to stretch out in bed and relax on my tablet once my hair dried. A nap was not in the books for today.

I realized that it is the middle of November it was still sunny out so I figured I should get up and go out on the patio for a bit. That felt great but the sun did not last very long. While I was out there I grabbed the rake and raked the leaves into a pile to get rid of later.

Music was Illogicist.
