For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That sums up my day. Last night was too much fun and today I paid the price. I thought I was okay when I woke up at the crack of noon. I blogged and was on my bike by 2 pm. I was looking forward to riding outside in the heat and humidity.
I knew it was going to be a slow ride once I started. My heart rate was high and to keep it in the zone, there was not a lot of pushing on the pedals. I also felt flat. About an hour into it, my engine powered down. It was noticeable.
At that point I knew riding was going to be a waste of time physically. There would be no performance gains made today. It was only going to be a mental grind. I decided to cut the ride short and head home. Little did I know the worst was yet to come. When I got home, the suffering began. I experienced a semi-hangover and exhaustion.
The rest of the day looked like this. Lie on couch, pick up and eat Chinese food, fall into a coma on the couch and wake up at 11:30 pm back to a semi-normal state.
I had one of those sleeps where you can't move or open your eyelids if you wanted to. Even Alice fell a sleep on the sofa. I was on one end and she was on the other. For Alice to fall asleep during the day or evening is rare.
Some nights I wish I had an off switch or had the ability to powerdown.

Feel better - that sucks, the incremental increasing of crappiness hangover...those are the worst.
Hey - Happy Father's Day
Hic.
Now you know why I go home when the street lights come on.
Sucker.
M, tell me about it. I must be getting old. Thanks, I just hope they're mind. They eat a lot of food. haha
J, that's why your smart and I'm not driving a Ferrari. haha.

Haha, man I love that I don't get hangovers, they sound like a waste of time!
When your body needs rest, it tells you! Those are the best sleeps. I call those comas. Well your "short" bike ride is pretty damn close to my "long" bike ride!
Nice shot of the wounded soldiers on the counter top. Hopefully Reid was helping you and those weren't all your victims ;)
M, haha, don't worry your day will come. And yes, they are a big waste of time. Unfortunately those were all my victims and there was still more on the patio furniture outside. haha. Surprisingly, my kids aren't interested in drinking. I guess they want to be opposite of their parents. Don't blame them. haha.
