Smooth Spin
I felt great at the spin session on Tuesday and I worked my ass off.
I don’t always feel that way on Tuesdays. Sometimes on Tuesdays, I take feedback with a feeling that I’m getting picked on and that I can’t do anything right. A good dose of positive feedback once and a while helps me to get past that. Today Alan told me that I was looking smooth.
I also did other things right to make yesterday a great workout. I psyched myself up for the workout by reading the workout ahead of time and planned my eating and hydrating well throughout the day. I worked really hard, and was looking forward to the workout all day. My HR monitor tells me that I reached 172 – which is got to be the max that I’ve ever seen on the bike. I was totally spent afterwards. I went home, ate well, gave my legs an ice bath, fell into bed, and then slept in on Wednesday morning.
Wednesday, I felt tired but good – better then previous Wednesdays. I guess my body is getting used to the building workout schedule (just like Coach Drew said it would).
