Since I had such a great workout week last week, I thought I would be very ambitious this week. I had already decided that for this week I would merely do my long workouts, plus an upper and lower body weights session for a total of around 6 and maybe 8 hours max. But as I looked at my schedule, I began psyching myself up and to have grandiose ideas about getting up at 4 am every morning to be at the gym by 6 so I could get a swim in every day.
Monday morning rolled around and I forced my way to the gym, but once there I could only muster a session in the hot tub and then made an attempt at a weight lifting session. But the weights were very heavy and I was feeling very logy and felt that way for the rest of the day.
Tuesday, I woke up at 2am wide awake. I finally got back to sleep at 3:30 and decided to forget even trying that morning. Once again I was pretty tired all day and couldn’t wait to get to bed.
Then this morning, once again the alarm went off at 4 and once again I went back to sleep and woke up at 6. And today I feel highly refreshed and ready to hit the gym.
I’m looking forward to next week’s 12 hour workout week, but in the meantime, I’m just going to enjoy the rest of this rest week. And in the future, when I make a reasonable plan, I need to stick with it even if I’m feeling jazzed in the moment.

You go on with your bad self!!! You sound like me!
You were crazy last week.
I can't get up in the mornings lately! Ugh! I wanted to start doing doubles this month, especially when I taper for SD. Run in the AM, swim in the PM. Somehow I think my plan is a bit "ambitious" haha.
