If Saturday was Low Energy today was even worse. I felt stupider today I can be staring at someone and just see their mouths moving and not quite comprehend the garble. I definitely annoyed the boss.
By end of the work day I was sleepy. I was waiting around for Body Pump and I fell asleep. I can tell you I almost fell asleep lying down on the board doing chest workouts. I halved the weights for every workout I did than usual.
It was BAD.
I dont know if the exhaustion has been amplified by tiredness from fasting and my trip. I think I'm probably more exhausted and stressed out than I care to admit.
Maybe it was the 2 Krispy Kremes I had for breakfast. and then the dip in sugar was just such a contrast I was traumatised.

Low energy day
This is one of those days you may suffer from if you're a woman. You know your next cycle is starting in several days.
Actually it doesnt always happen, or maybe at times it happens on days I take the day off and so I miss it completely. And in fact, day before or after I would have been so hyper I can do more than usual.
This round it happens that I tried to run on lethargy. I couldnt do even 5 km. I was struggled through 2km then I decided I cannot do it. When I went home I could hardly lift my spoon to feed myself. usually I'm not a nap person. But today I napped like a baby until the neighbours decided to vacuum their floor.
The other symtoms are irritability. Everything doesnt work and you want to pounce on the next moving object for, well, moving.
No matter the moment I got back home yesterday I managed 5km in 31 min. I feel like I have to reboot. Start over.
I put on 2 kg in KL. It was no exercise and the fact that I ate well. I didnt enjoy most of what I ate but I ate. I had a standard room service menu for breakfast. And because I try not to waste food, I ate as much as I could of it, 430 am in the morning every day. (I gave up on the malay menu, just not palatable)
Even meeting a runner on the daily shuttle didnt motivate me to get on with it. He ran at noon around the hotel. Its unthinkable. Not even the enticing warm pool overlooking the entire town of Putrajaya.
NO matter, the Ramadhan is almost over and from then on I have absolutely not excuse to let up. For once I'd like to hit my personal best again. It hasnt happened in a while.
further more its spring. Its actually quite unbearably hot at noon. You cant cross legs. and the flies. gasp. I was walking around in sleeveless today. how wonderful. for once my arms feels the sun. one needs to look good. everywhere.

No Bridge Run
I will not be back in Sydney in time for the Bridge Run. :-( Had to extend my work trip here in Malaysia till next week.
To be honest I am not actually sore about it. I would have been if I had been training hard. But I havent.
I'm still not motivated to at least hit the treadmill after work. Every morning in the hotel shuttle I meet a runner who tells me he'd run at midday for 40 minutes. And I'd sheepishly say daily that I havent been to the gym. But honestly when fasting, you really need a bit more motivation to pass a meal right after a fast to log 10km. I am indeed in real need for motivation to run again. The Real Run is just sounding too far away. In fact thats in a month. WHAT???
oh oh.
No matter, before I fell sick I was pretty good with the gym routine and running around the Bay every weekend. But with the fasting and workload I've had, I think pancit is the right word for it. Blown tire. kaput.
I got to get started again!

back on line
A little troublesome when you dont have internet connection and the office blocks all social websites.
On a quick note I'd have to say the preparation for the Bridge Run half marathon this weekend IS NOT GOING WELL.
I have no doubt I will finish it but like when? Its been almost 2 weeks of not running. Had a bout of flu, thankfully didnt get full blown, and work was just horrendous, and with the fasting, I'm quite kaput by end of the day, going to bed right after breaking fast, if, I get to break fast on time that is.
Will just worry about how to to teh start point that day.
