Isn’t a workout supposed to GIVE you energy? Or something like that…? Don’t get me wrong, it felt good to run and just do something since I’ve been a hibernating bear for almost the last three months (last official workout was in November, I believe?), but I’m pooped. And my lungs hurt. And why does my jaw hurt?
Oddly, when I started my warm-up, I could feel my body wanting to run. That probably sounds blasphemous, but it’s like I wasn’t going fast enough to please my muscles. Weird body.
After ten minutes at an average-fast-walking-pace, I kicked ‘er up a notch and did my interval cardio that I love love love. It gets the heart going, it makes me tired, and it tests my pacing. And it complements the songs on my iPod Shuffle since I have fast songs and slow, thought-provoking ones.
As it turns out, today, I was able to do the same interval paces as I did the last time I worked out. So, that’s gotta be good, right? I guess, really, it hasn’t been THAT long… maybe I shouldn’t be that impressed, but whatever. When I’m super sore tomorrow and have to slowly get up from chairs, I’ll be thinking differently.
