Thoughts: Last week, I guess I went pretty hard... to the point that on early Monday, I cancelled my gym session due to lack of proper sleep. Then, I thought "Nope. Not Tuesday either". Then, Wednesday at 3AM, I cancelled again!
I really wanted to do Monday's and Wednesday's workouts.. But I was too exhausted, I guess.
At 4:30PM, I messaged my coach and said, "I'm debating on showing up for 6:30PM."
He said, "Do it. This is a workout you need. Just a good breather but fun with the deadlifts."
I looked to see how many people signed up for 6:30PM.. Still only 1 other person. Okay. Should be fine. I shouldn't feel too much anxiety in dealing with new people then.
I walked into the gym at 6:15PM. Coach James said, "You made it! Good. Because we actually made this workout for you."
I said, "Well, that was unnecessary. Not like I'm someone who needs a special challenge. We all know I have zero cardio."
Two other people showed up. Good, quiet, nice people. The red-haired lady was slightly bubbly and reminded me of Blossom from the Powerpuff Girls. The other guy was quiet and gruff. Very focused. Happy to stay in his box lol.
Coach James went through the workout. He said, "I want you to cap yourself at 30 - 40 seconds to give yourself some time to rest and transition."
My response, "I was already going to do that anyway."
Coach James, "This is why we made this workout just for you."
I actually enjoy these types of endurance workouts. The weightlifting tends to be when I rest. The deadlifts were a good way for me to work on my grip strength as the weight was not a problem... it's holding on through all 15 reps.
Definitely glad that I went to an evening work out. Currently enjoying the soreness. I was going to do a rowing workout this morning, but husband likes to once in a while remind me to not completely overdo it lol. So, I slept instead.
