What happened after I got off the bike is where things start
to get strange. About an hour later I
noticed I was feeling energetic. This is
very odd for me since I am normally tired all the time. I wake up tired. I force my way through the day, and I go to
bed exhausted. This is every day for the
last several years. So, when I found
myself looking at the elliptical and wondering how it would feel to do a short
interval workout, it was practically an out of body experience!
I ended up doing a twenty minute workout in the middle of
the afternoon. I did one minute of warm
up, one minute as fast as I could followed by one minute of recovery (repeated
many times), and then two minutes of cool down at the end. Other than being hot and sweaty, I felt
wonderful! I haven’t felt good after
exercise in a long, long time. And, when
I admitted to Steve that I had ‘snuck’ in a workout just because I felt like
it, it was surreal. I sneak snacks, not
workouts!
I finished up the day with the muscle challenge class. Again, it was a great workout and I really
enjoyed it. We did a lot of really
difficult things, and I know I’m going to be in pain tomorrow. But, through the whole workout I was having
fun. When it was over, I was tempted to
stay for yoga. But, as I was putting my
weights away, I realized that my knee really needed the break. So, I came home.
I plan on finishing the day with an hbot session and a sauna
session. Both of those should feel
really good on my knee and, should help with overall muscle recovery. But, the strange thing is that I am still
feeling happy and energetic. I don’t
want the day to end because I’m afraid to lose this feeling. Hopefully, tomorrow will be just as good!
