With Dave usually on travel during the week, there is no one in my house but my fish to witness what I do. And they do have a way of tattling on me. But I've been sneaking around them.What have I been doing?
Well, anyone who knows me well knows I'm an over-doer by nature. I can do the right or wrong things to the point it doesn't really matter which I've done. In particular, I think I maybe overdoing this heat training stuff. At home, not even going outside, LOL.
The main part of our house is set to 82 degs and this is primarily so that I don't kill any more aquarium fish (they don't seem to like it when their water temps get above 84-86). The rest of the house, however, can get much hotter, especially upstairs where our home gym is located. Ahhh ... If I'm working, working out or sleeping in a room for a while, I usually set the thermostat for that zone to 85 (if Dave were around, usually the temp would be 77-82). Last night, though, I did a weight workout upstairs and the thermostat read 99(!). Bah, why turn on the A/C? I can handle the heat now, plus I'll be saving on our electric bill.
Well, I think I paid for it this morning in the pool. Just felt tired and unable to stay as focused. It was only a 2000 yd workout and I even skipped a 50, I later found out when recording the yardages and paces from my watch. Couldn't even count to 4!
At first I thought it was just lifting too much too late but Dave reminded me that I'd also done a very hot workout. Oh yeah, forgot about that part. And did I drink much while I was dripping and leaving puddles all over the place? NO (maybe 12 oz). Or afterwards? Noooo, too tired. DOH!
Another one of those stupid fathead things I do from time to time. In my zeal to HTFU and JUST DO IT, I just don't think sometimes.
Anyway, gotta go outside and do my yard now. Anyone ever try attaching a bike aero bottle to their mower?
