Day 44: Post-race reluctance

I don't know if I'm tired from the race or tired from all the festivities yesterday, or both, but I so did not want to work out today. It was especially difficult since there was no yoga due to the holiday. I eventually ran out of excuses, however, so I dragged myself to the gym and did 20 minutes on the bike and 25 minutes of weight lifting. I'm glad I did, as I usually am after forcing myself to work out on lazy days, but I'm still feeling pretty unenthusiastic. I need to get the stretch part of my stretch and strengthen day in before bed; I'm feeling some pain in my left ITB... the dreaded site of previous injury. Probably just the strain of the race, and lack of appropriate stretching and nutrition afterwards (beer probably not the best option for race recovery). Definitely not excited about my run tomorrow either, but thankfully Chris has a new class schedule, so he can meet me for an early morning run. So I have no choice but to do it. Hopefully a good night's sleep will have me in a better, more motivated mood tomorrow.
