To Sleep, Perchance To … Workout Hard?!
Sleep! I need some badly!
I’m experiencing the effects of Sleep Deprivation today.
Too much coffee too late in the day yesterday = not getting to sleep until past 4am last night.
I’m floating through this day on 4 hours of sleep …
It was supposed to be an “Interval Training” day today.
Yah, I went anyway.
Even though I felt ‘okay’ as I left for the running path, my workout suffered … pretty badly.
Funny, I thought that the workout would wake me up. And it did. But that didn’t help me get a good workout in …
Getting enough sleep is a pretty important part of getting a good workout.
As much as I thought I could power through it anyway (and I did power through it), my workout wasn’t as good as it could have been… by a significant amount.
Rats.
But, even though I was more or less brain-dead during my Intervals today, one of my favourite fitness tools helped me get it done right without any thinking, calculating or watching the clock. 
GymBoss makes a kick-ass interval timer, with a STRONG vibe function. So I just set it and did what it told me to do.
Good thing I had it or I probably would have been a lot messier trying to keep my intervals timed properly.

Have a fit, fun and fantastic day.

I’ve made the mistake several times, I started drinking green tea, and I asusme dthat green tea has no caffeine so I drank maybe 4 or 5 cups of it in the evenings and I couldn’t get any sleep. Big mistake.
Luckily I get to work from home, so it wasn’t too bad I could lie in and catch some sleep

weird, green tea doesn’t affect me like coffee does. I can swill green tea all day long and it won’t mess with my sleep patterns, but one cup of coffee and look out, I’m tossing and turning all bloody night!
thanks for the comment
