My energy level has been lacking lately due to this virus I can't seem to shake! My workouts have been so easy this week but have taken a lot out of me. So I decided to take a 5 Hour Energy to test before race day that I haven't tried yet. Felt fine and energized somewhat so I ran to the gym and did a progressive 2.25 mile increasing 15 secs every .5. Splits were 6:45, 6:30, 6:15 and 6:00 for last .75. Afterwards I did 40 mins of core work and weights. Ran back home with 8 miles total with 7:15 AP for the day Four hours after the workout I hit some kind of new low, the energy drink had ran out and I was not doing well. I had this crazy migraine that would not go away!. I took some meds, went into a dark hole in my room and spent the remainder of the evening in bed. Not sure what that was a result of, but I might have to think twice about taking an energy drink while I'm not quite a 100% healthwise, then add a workout:) Good thing Steve had the day off today- he took care of the kids and dinner. I plan to keep him. |
