I feel so groggy this morning. I couldn’t get to sleep/stay asleep, so I took some sleep meds. I still woke up earlier than I should have, so I feel really groggy. I can’t tell what kind of day this is going to be. I haven’t been able to apply the magnesium oil yet, but I did take the supplements.
Got myself up and moving at a decent time. Pulled off a medium walk before lunch. Pretty dififiult. I’m paying for the rain walk effort from yesterday. I feel it deep in my bones. It hurt me for sure, but I’ll recover from it, so it’s OK. I’ll take some pain for gain, but usually my pain is pointless and gainless. Hot outside too, but it was a strong walk. I need to get used to the heat. This San Francisco boy is not designed for heat or humidity.
Medium walk. Man, these walks are pretty difficult. The heat is really crushing me. I still don’t have a lot of strength and conditioning, so they’re putting a bit of hurt on me. I’m making it though, and I’m super happy about that. I need to make sure I recover properly so I don’t end up hurting myself or flaring myself up. I need to get better at that. I’ve been healthier in the past and didn’t have to worry all that much about recovery.
Short walk. Glad I didn’t try a medium, because I didn’t have anything left in the tank. I’m worn out from the efforts of the last few days. You might think I would sleep well tonight, but it will most likely be the opposite. It usually is. Those muscles next to my shin bones are hurting a lot. This happens when I start being active after long periods off. It will probably hurt tomorrow.
Well, I officially overdid it today. I couldn’t help myself. I had the opportunity today to do things, so I did. I got a bit overzealous. Clearly I need to learn moderation. I hurt myself with too much activity. Trying to recover. I also need to figure out how to recover well. I hope I didn’t screw tomorrow’s chances. We’ll find out. At least I can blame myself and not some random ass fibromyalgia flare that comes out of nowhere.
