I’ll admit it. I didn’t run this morning. As it turns out, Mom Nature decided that winter shouldn’t QUITE leave us yet. And I don’t do morning runs in 22 degree windchill. Sorry. Not my thing. It has to be at least 30. And, no, I hate treadmills. So, instead, I watched The Today Show and did some strength/weight training. A few things I realized as I was working my nonexistent arm muscles:
1) Naturally, I’ve lost the passion for coffee in the morning typically because when I come back spent from a run, I just want water. [And a gun. To shoot myself with.]
2) I’ve also noticed a massive dip in my energies around 7pm. Don’t most people see a dip in sugar levels (or something like that) around 3pm? I mean, I’m not getting up any later than normal, so… I guess I am a science experiment. Usually, if I struggle through the 7pm slide (eye exercises, lots of yawns), I’m good to go until I really am completely exhausted mentally and physically around 10/11pm.
3) Just how many reps of arm exercises should I be doing in order to a) not kill myself or be so sore the next day I can’t do my hair and b) see some results in less than a year?
