So its obviously not the end of the week.
It's Tuesday.
Last week went pretty well. It was recovery week so it was easy on me and I felt awesome all week. Swimming was cancelled and I only did one swim session, but with many many more coached swim sessions coming, I just really used it as a recovery week. Friday night after a 12 hour shift, I came home and it was raining. So I put the shoes on and ran anyways. It made me feel good! Like the dedication was kicking in! Saturday happened and I went-out and had several drinks more than I should. My Sunday morning shift sucked. After work I was feeling like crap! There were tons of things I was supposed to do...like write this for example. However I decided that doing nothing and eventually sleeping was a much better idea. I awoke all tangled in my sweat soaked sheets at about midnight feeling worse than ever. Not good! I am supposed to be at the hospital at 8:30 for my volunteer shift. Then I had a 6k run to do, all of my weekly chores to do. Groceries, laundry and cooking. Then I had swim practice after all that. I quickly ran to the washroom and dosed myself with NyQuil. I woke-up with my alarm at 6:30 and said to myself. NOPE! I then promptly cancelled my volunteer shift. Somewhere around noon I cancelled on my vocals teacher. I then had a huge fight with myself. Do I run today even though I feel like crap? Holy crap, what about swimming?? I then dosed myself with NyQuil and went back to sleep. Oddly through all of this I was making sure to keep myself hydrated similar to if I were on the bike for a long period of time. I even made sure I was taking in electrolytes as well as plain water. Right, where was I? I am a little bit out of it still, but I really wanted to stick to my schedule! I figured the swim would probably be too rough, but I could just take my time with the run and I should be alright. Around 9:00 I made the call. No run. More sleep. I decided that I would rather miss one run than risk getting sicker and missing more. Hell, I may feel better and I can push it all back a day and still get my mileage in. Instead of Monday, Wednesday, Friday I can do Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
At least that's the plan. I just got off work early and I have homework to do. I think I will get cozy, make some tea and do that while doing laundry. Then hopefully I will feel a bit better after class and I can put in my run then. In a strange turn of events I am not scheduled for my usual Wednesday morning shift so no matter what I should be back to 100% by tomorrow evening for my swim practice after a good sleep-in session.
Here's hoping!
