Day Off

Total day off - I went to bed and realized I didn't tell you about my day! Well, my day was weird, odd, and lazy!

As you know, I slept for about 12 hours on Sunday night. And it was a hard sleep with no waking up. I intended to go for a run yesterday and I even suited up and went outside. But I ran about 10 steps and just said to myself, "I'm NOT doing this." And I didn't!

I felt so weird all day - like I was still moving! It wasn't until the afternoon that the rolling stopped. I didn't feel sick, just like I was still on the boat, I guess. And I was very, very tired. I didn't sleep well at all on the cruise, to be honest. So I think that had a big wearing down impact on me.

And then I had such a hard time getting to sleep last night! And I was tired all day, so I was very surprised. I went to bed at 8 and read and then put the lights out around 9. But I bet it was 11:30 before I fell asleep. So I'm tired again this morning! But I suppose 12 hours of sleep messed me up!

Well, back at it today, anyway. Pilates this morning and I will make sure to run hills this afternoon.

I had a healthy day of eating all day yesterday. Probably too much, but still good for me stuff. So that's good!

I'll report back on my am!

I suppose you develop what they call sea legs and then have to get back to land legs. Hadn't thought about that. Hope you're sleeping gets straightened out, too. Nothing worse than being tired and trying to function. Wonder how your pilates will go after a week off.

Yeah, I had not considered it either. I felt a lot better today in that regard. I did have quite the headache this afternoon. Now that is better after I ate tonight. I think that the trip was just such a major change that it is taking me time to get back into the swing of "regular" life!

Oh, I'll tell you how pilates went! HARD! But fun!

Also, I'm interested to hear how this opposite road running goes. Yeah, it will take time, but it sure makes a lot of sense.
