Night rides are the best! It's a good thing that I pack the car and all my gear before work. If I had to decide at 3:30 or even after work if I was going to ride I would probably bag it and go take a nap. I hate that I feel so sluggish in the afternoon. It must be from sitting at work all day. Is this a normal physiological response? Does everyone feel this way? Why are we fighting it? We need more naptimes. The funny thing is that it doesn't last. I can literally be falling asleep at my desk at 4 o'clock. I will go ahead and get changed to ride while all the time I am thinking "I am so tired. I don't really feel like going blah blah blah". As soon as I get there I have totally forgotten that I felt this way and am geared up and ready to go. So I must not have been TRULY tired or I would have needed to rest to get through it. If it is not tired what is it and how do I avoid it?
I find that I "trick" myself in to a lot of my workouts. I have to write down my plan or make a date to meet someone. I sure the heck am not going to get myself out of bed at 5:30 on a Saturday to go ride by myself, but if I am meeting someone I KNOW I won't let them down. When I am feeling like not going I tell myself to just get started if I really want to quit I can. Of course I never do. Getting started is the hard part - momentum takes over from there. So until I figure out my energy dilemma I will keep tricking myself in to working out. I guess whatever works works. Sure hope I don't catch on.
