Watched a movie late last night ... "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days". It was a cute one. I borrowed it from a friend quite some time ago ... hadn't gotten around to watching it.
So, I got to sleep rather late. It took me a while to get going today, with the exercise. And, compared to some of my output, it was pretty pathetic. But, I did it!!
I set new challenge goals, since it had been a couple weeks since I'd done them. I had difficulty getting there ... but, there's always next time. My goal for pushups was 35 (I did 25 ... not a bad number), I wanted to up my last wall squat numbers by 20 sec., to 1 min., 45 sec. (I didn't quite get there), and, I shot for a goal of 60 mason twists (I got just past it). So, now, I need to work on new numbers for Thursday.
The run was pretty pathetic. I did actually leave my house with the 2 mile or 30 min. goal. Unfortunately, half of it was walking, not running. But, since it had been a while since I've been running, I felt I should start out a little slower ... get back in the groove.
It felt good to get back out there, doing some exercise. But, I was also exhausted. I sat down to look through a magazine ... and ended up falling asleep. So, I decided to take a nap ... ended up being an hour and a half. Got up and ate, since it had been a while. And, started drifting off again, once I sat down.
Today, I'm not beating myself up over my lack of energy. I'm more puzzled by it. Yes, I realize I got only 6 1/2 hours of sleep last night. But, I don't think I should be this tired. I've been drinking my water, and taking my vitamins regularly, lately.
I just hope this isn't how I spend my days off from work this week!
I did eventually get busy ... and productive. Got a few easy tasks done.

So how did the wharf to wharf go?
Thanks for stopping by!
The Wharf to Wharf was great. It was crowded and crazy, but a lot of fun! (Posted the picture on "race day".)
I'm definitely doing it again next year.
