A workout hangover

Everything that I've read about training warns that when you work out you'll be more tired and sleep longer. After all of that working out yesterday, I slept hard. I didn't hear my alarm going off, and if Ben hadn't woken up and told me to shut it off, I'd probably be late for work. It was rough. It took a ton of will power to get up and put on my running duds. What helped was realizing that if I chickened out today, I'd end up chickening out every day. I also told myself that I'd only do part of the work out if it "really was that bad." It wasn't. I extended my Couch to 5k podcast by two more intervals of 90 sec running and 2 min walking, for a total of 8 intervals and 37 minutes. The 90 seconds wasn't all that hideous because I kept looking forward to the 2 minutes of "brisk walking." Hopefully, it'll be even easier tomorrow to get up and get going. I'll be swimming. (Yeah!! My favorite workout!!) Sometime this week, I need to fit in an ocean swim, but I'll need a buddy for that. Maybe Ben will kayak next to me. We'll have to see.
