worn out...day off
I woke up this morning and felt worn out. I'm not sure why. I haven't done much training the last few days. Work hasn't been unusually stressful. Maybe I'm suffering from several weeks of trouble sleeping (my ribs hurt when I'm in bed, so I wake up every hour or so).
My plan was to do a decent run today (probably 90 minutes at Wyandotte with a good 30 of it technique training) plus 30+ minutes on the trainer while watching KU basketball.
I didn't follow my plan. I didn't do anything physical. Aside from shuffling out the back door to re-fill the birdfeeder, I didn't even go outside. I took two naps. I read a bit of a book.
I also spent some time watching videos from the x-country skiing world champs. Two US skiers, Carl Swenson and Kris Freeman, did really well. It is fun -- inspiring -- to watch ski races. Skiing has got to be one of the best of the suffering sports. If you've got a broadband connection, download some of the videos here. I'd recommend the men's relay.
Now for something completely different....
I discovered a toy for making audio entries on this page. If it works correctly, you should be able to click on the button below and hear a short message.
