Can't deny it...I need to rest

SWIM: 1900y in 59 minutes
BIKE about 12 miles in 45 minutes

It was backstroke day and I knew going into it that I was tired. So it was a sloppy swim. Poor form. No edge. No desire. Pain in the neck. Tired triceps.

The bike ride afterwards was also a No Desire ride, but I wanted to do it. I did all I had time for.

Funny how things like this can add up to an obvious conclusion (I need to rest) yet I can't make myself do it. I'm already planning tomorrow's run and Friday's swim! Let's take a moment to describe this fatigue.

All I want to do is sit. And slouch. My back has a tight non-pain ache like it might cramp. My whole back! My arm muscles are the same. My hands are tired from typing. The hallway is too long to even walk down. I'm hoping I can get a ride to the parking lot somehow. I want to lie down (lay down? whatever) but my mind is still spinning!

I had a migraine aura last night, and I think another today. Obvious signs of fatigue. My mental status is OK, it's my body that is suffering.

I say that just minutes after saying "No Desire". Am I even paying attention?
