I might need to re-evaluate what I'm doing here, and/or do some more 'active' recovery on off days.
I took Saturday and Sunday off to let my leg muscles recover. On Monday I noticed in myself a lot of "I don't want to do this" energy. I had to drag myself to the gym early in the day, because I was sure that if I waited until later, I wouldn't do it at all.
As per usual when I don't want to do a workout, but do it anyway, I was literally singing to myself afterwards. It felt amazing.
Same energy today, Tuesday. I did the treadmill yesterday, because in many respects it is easier psychologically than the bike because your pace is set digitally. I don't want to do that two days in a row, and I'm kind of dreading trying to keep my RPMs up and stay in my heart rate zone on the exercise bike.
I'm sure if I just do it it will also be amazing.
Traveling at the end of the week, going to take my heart rate monitor with me. At the very least I should be able to find a place to walk, but hopefully my hotel has a gym.
