This was a difficult week for me. My sleep schedule was way off and prevented me from completing some of my scheduled workouts. Then I lost my heart rate monitor watch. Not fun.

scheduled ride time: 1.5 hours at 138-160- Was at work from 9am til 8PM. Got home and tried to ride. I was so exhausted I could only spin. Still did my core workout. My hamstrings felt super tight. Everyone at my work has this nasty flu, and I was worried I was catching it. Went to bed after an hour of easy spinning. Slept from 10pm to 9am.
Thursday: scheduled rest day. And I rested. My sinuses were a little stuffed up and I felt dehydrated. Did some stretching Thursday night I didn't fall asleep until nearly three a.m. Got up for work at eight.

My scheduled ride was 2.25 hours at 138-160. I was so fried that I could only spin for an hour. Mentally I am exhausted. Tonight my plan is to go to bed at ten and get up at 7. Hopefully that puts me back on a normal sleep schedule, and I can do tomorrow's planned ride. My sinuses feel better and I'm hydrated again. This may have been a near-miss on catching the flu that everyone at work has. The weather is warm enough that next week I could ride outside if I wanted.
Sometimes it doesn't go according to plan.
