I'm a bum.

No exercising yesterday. Well. I did get on the trainer for 20min, but that probably doesn't count for anything. I don't know what my deal is, because I wasn't busy. I haven't been feeling all that well though...I slept for almost 11 hours last night after taking a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day yesterday. I just feel kinda crappy and don't have the energy to get down to the pool...

I did call a bunch of gyms though, and it seems like I got some leads for spinning classes. I just have to go fill out an application form and get an interview time, but she was already asking me if I could sub for a 6am class and could teach a 12noon class. So, that's pretty cool. It'll be nice to have something new to do that's also helping with my ever-depleted bank account.

I feel like all I'm doing is yawning today. I just can't get going. Too much sleep? I felt like I needed it though. My throat is itchy and my equilibrium isn't right. Blech.

Okay. No more complaining. I promise. I don't even feel THAT bad...just...off.

So now that I'm not complaining, I don't have much to say. Typical.

In response to TriYogini, I wanted to write a bit about what the spinning certification consisted of, but that'll have to wait. I did take my online test yesterday, and got a 98% so I am officially a certified teacher. (Yes, I missed 1 question out of 50...I wish I knew which one, because I think it must have been a mistake. Me, miss something? Never. Hahaha. You know what really would be funny though? If I called Mad Dog Spinning and insisted on knowing which question it was...acting as though I really wanted to know the right answer in order to 'better myself', etc. hahahaha. Not that I don't want to better myself, but that would just be a little ridiculous, and I'm sure the people answering the phone would think I was a nut-job...which wouldn't be THAT far off base, but in general I try not to advertise that fact to the general public.)

Anyway.
Tonight I'm going running, definitely. I'm going to try to get there early enough to do the extra loop, so that I get in 8 miles. I might get my butt down to the pool this afternoon too. If not, definitely first thing tomorrow morning. I haven't been swimming nearly enough since swim camp...that was an overdose, to say the least, and I just can't seem to get myself motivated to swim now. Bummer.

Okay. I'm going to go try to get myself going. Practice time, as usual...

Hey! You're not a bum--you must have needed it and your body is telling you to rest! Take it easy, chica...glad to hear you've got some leads on spinning, too! :)

You have to listen to your body. My damn body won't shut up, it always tells me to rest. You are doing awesome, so get better and then hop back on the horse. Let food be your medicine - Socrates

Lots of antioxidants (fresh fruits, veggies,).

See you soon.

Lazy days are not always bad..sometimes a nice little refresher day is exactly what you need. Just don't let them get strung together like I do sometimes..ooops.

Sounds like you have whatever it is that I have. Just get your rest, if you have no energy then you're body is trying to tell you that you need the rest, even if your brain tells you otherwise. Hope you feel better soon.

P.S. Good luck with the spin classes, almost like getting paid to train :)

Like everyone else has said, take the recovery day your body is telling you you need.
