Felt horrible all day. I was lazy getting up, and did nothing at all today. By the time I got to the Y I had a headache and just felt bad all over. I did some weight training to try and get things going, and felt worse. I rode a trainer for 30 minutes to see if that would clear my head and get me going, and I still felt awful. My knees hurt, and I barely got my HR up to 130. I was very slow and had no motivation. After the bike I almost gave up a 20 minute run I had planned to throw in, but forced myself to do it. I did manage to get through the run at a 9 1/2 minute pace, so that wasn't completely worthless.
In all, this was by far the least enjoyable training I have done to date. I'm not sure if it was the sloth-like morning I had, or if I'm still feeling the heat from the 5k on Saturday. Hopefully things will get better tomorrow.

Sounds like you need to meet my special friend, coffee :) Two cups a day and you'll get rid of that headache and probablly elevate your heart rate. I count my espresso drinking as cardio :D
You're probably just drained from the heat.
It was great meeting you! And believe me, we'll be back to visit (andfor your fine cooking).
I blame Moe's. I hear there's like a three-day recovery time after eating Moe's.
And to Jason, if coffee-drinking is cardio, call me Cadel Evans.
