Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 169

Day 169 I decided that today needed to be an active rest day. I still planned on exercising but I needed some less structured and a lot less difficult. Over the last two days, I've been really unusually tired. This head cold seems doesn't seem to be making me feel that sick, but I'm guessing it has something to do with my lack of energy. For that reason I felt I needed to dial it back today.

I left work a little early this afternoon because I was feeling pretty yucky and took a nap on the couch. I pretty much crashed as soon as I got home. After about half an hr I woke up feeling a little groggy but a lot better. The weather earlier in the day was pretty awful but at this point it was actually really nice. I knew I didn't feel like running but thought getting some fresh air would be a good idea, so I pulled my bike out of the garage and went for a bike ride.

Today's Workout

1 hr minute Bike Ride (Light to Moderate Pace) Approximate Distance: 15 km

20 minutes of deep stretching

I wasn't setting any land speed records on my bike but it was reasonably brisk. I didn't track my distance or pace, but judging from my runs I would say it was around 15km. Along the way I stopped into Deville Coffee Shop and picked up a couple macarons for dessert. Nicole was pretty happy when she saw them in the fridge. After dinner I did good deep stretch. Now time to call it a night a little earlier than usual so I can recoup some sleep and feel better tomorrow.
