BONK!

I totally bonked this morning on my ride. That hasn't happened since I started riding my bike. Ususally I get a pleasant feeling/buzz from my rides but this morning I totally and I mean totally bonked! I went to go on the "Cardio" workout with my heartrate between 133-143, a normal range for me when I am working out at my top end (which I have been doing for a while now) but I got the bike and my rate up there and I could only make 19 minutes. I then tried a "mets" program for 9 minutes and I only made it 3 minutes. I feel frustrated right now. I guess I need to bonk to get better but this was ridiculous, I couldn't even get in my 25 minutes. Oh well. I am doing my sit ups and push ups (those killed yesterday as I was burning through tight muscles from Monday and push ups also use stomach muscles (different than sit up ones) and I struggled last night with sit ups) and my arms feel jell-oee this morning as well. Rough start to the day. Anyway, work is going well. Things are happening and in the works and we should start turning the corner again. We had another rough February. I don't know why the last couple of February's have been so down but they have. Anyway, I am dripping still from my workout so that must mean something, right?... It sucks to bonk!

  1. I am just doing what I used to do when I was in shape, although that is a broadly interpreted term for me, but I am getting better and increasing what I am doing. You forget, it has been quite a few years since I have tried to do anything. I just didn't get this lovely, gelatinous body over night!
