Just another one of those days December 13, 2005
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentI was feeling okay until school finished today. Well, everything hasn't been going right since Friday, after I smelt that weird smell of my bike's back tire melting??
I came back from school, didn't feel very well but got my bike clothes on and stepped outside. Is someone trying to mess with me? It started raining like 5seconds after I stepped out. I said 'forget it' and went back inside, checking the weather every few seconds. The clouds were still out but it stopped raining in about 10minutes so I went out with my mtb to look for a new running course now that I have a new cycle computer. Unfortunately, nothing good was found, not even one little hill that I might be able to use…Got back home and for some reason I got a headache, assuming it's from the rain(I get headaches when the weather changes suddenly) I went to the swimming pool. Then, it got worse, who cares…I'm already at the pool, I don't feel like going home without a swim. So I jump in, give myself a warm up of 200m…My head still hurts plus I have another weird pain in my left leg so I asked my coach, "Can I take it easy today? I'm not feeling well." He said yes so I got back to swimming but after 650m I just couldn't resist. I got out and went home.
Tomorrow: I'll just take it easy. What's the use of working out when you're not in the mood. I have the motivation, just need the rest…I will not go for a swim no matter how good I feel but I'll think about having a LSD ride if I feel up to it and if the weather's friendly. Don't worry, when there's a downhill, an uphill will follow. Besides, most of my PR's on my runs are after a downhill. Just keep on going down, man, I'll only feel much better later. Hope tomorrow's gonna be an "okay" day.
