My legs continued to have that dead feeling as I climbed stairs at work and around the house. I could have used a day off, but instead went to the park for a Survival Workout. After doing my first set of push-ups, I realized that it was more than my legs feeling the fatigue. I tried some sprints across the field, but the groin pain was still there and I resigned myself to lifting only with some core work.
I
completed 16 sets before returning to the car with that dissatisfied
feeling. When I arrived home, I
immediately changed into my cycling gear and hopped on the trainer. Yes…I was feeling sluggish but so what? If I got tired, it wasn’t like I couldn’t
make it home since I was already in my office.
I rode for an hour sweating profusely and feeling every revolution. When I finished though, I was pleased that I’d
persevered and anxious to make a large smoothie.
I
could see that I might easily spend the rest of the evening on the sofa again,
so I went to BJ’s to do some shopping instead.
I stopped to visit with Holly’s dad on the way home and then stopped in
the park for a late night walk. I find
almost nothing quite as serene as a walk in the park after dark. There is never anyone there and the noises
made by wildlife are intensified. With
moonlight on the snow, walking is easy and there is little chance of tripping. It was a good thing and beat the alternative…lounging.
