Yesterday, Saturday, I had to give the sermon at my church in Japanese. I was a little pressured all week because of the preparations. Anyway, everything went well and the talk was well received. Stress release was great. I took a long nap Saturday afternoon. But, I made a mistake last evening and started watching one of my favorite movies too late because I wasn't sleepy. I ended up going to be close to 3am. Woke up this morning around 8:30am for some reason. I was expecting to sleep in till close to noon. I had bit of a headache when I woke up.
Anyway, I told that story because I think it had a direct impact on my
workout today. I haven't felt this type of reaction to working out in a
very long time. Not in the past decade at least. Overall, I was able to
do all the moves, and hit my number every time. But after the first few
reps, I suddenly felt like I was straining on each subsequent rep. It
was weird! I felt I had the strength, but I just felt strained. I also
felt really winded after each move. Recovery time was a bit longer than
usual. My room was hot and humid despite having the fan and AC on.
For pull ups and chin ups, I can usually do 6-8 without stopping on the bar for a breather, but right after the third rep, I felt I had to stop, not because I was tired, but because I was winded. Barely made it on the Elevator Pull ups.
Crane Cracker Push-ups were much more tasking than usual. I wasn't getting my usual height on the Crawly Plyo Push up, either. My core was EXTREMELY worked on the Joel Jump Freeze, of all moves! The last two moves just burned me out. Those two in a row is a killer And now, after the workout, my calves are really feeling the burn, almost to the point of cramping. Never really had that happen before.
I NEED MY SLEEP! I have been doing very well with regards to getting to bed earlier than last year, but last night was a hiccup in that plan. I hope to not let it happen again.
Anyway, I'm rather disappointed in my performance today but I guess these types of days happen. I have to "Let It Go! Let It Go! Don't want to hold back anymore!"
This is week 12! I'm almost on the home stretch of the Classic schedule. I've got to really bring it this week to make up for today's debacle!
