Zombie Day

Yesterday was a tough day for me. I had a really hard time running and it felt like I was dragging a ton of bricks behind me in all my workouts. I even had issues working on my lats to get them to where I can do pull ups better without looking like im about to explode trying to do 1. I was talking to a few of my friends who love to run and we figured out that my problem is probably because I might have been dehydrated (I woke up extremely thirsty), and I haven't been getting enough sleep....let alone quality sleep. I am going to go buy a new pillow today because I woke up even more tired than I went to sleep last night. I am going to take it easy today and spread out the workouts across the day instead of doing it all in the morning. I am still coughing like I smoked a pack of cigarettes from my run yesterday so I am going to chew on a few cough drops throughout the day to see if that helps. Im also going to do the Vics on the feet at night trick tonight to see if that helps. Bring on sparring class tonight! Lesson of this story, drink lots of water and get good sleep! Oh yeah, I finished my white belt challenge last night and I ordered Taylor and myself books for our essays!
