Tired and Sore

Posted Wed Aug 18, 2010 in

I’ve been up about a half-hour and am going to make a motion to get to the shower, get fed, then get to the office to start the day.

I crashed last night and slept about ten hours. I never sleep ten hours… never. I woke this morning about 0530 tired and sore. The cardio routine yesterday (interval training for 20 minutes to momentary muscle failure) blitzed me, coupled with getting the lower-body weights about right on Monday.

So, I don’t have much in me this morning and am going to listen to my body and give it until this afternoon to recover. I have an evening meeting (board meeting I sit whenever I can) scheduled in Virginia City (about 45 minutes from here), but might blow it off. I’d rather work out my upper body, rest, and ready myself for the next cardio workout tomorrow.

Of course, I’ll miss the ride to Virginia City. It’s a nice bike ride and the air will be cool at that altitude. Maybe I’ll do the upper body workout, then ride out there and if I don’t make it in time ride on to south Reno and then home via SR28 — the long way home. Probably not, but it is a nice thought…

Now I need to get my head together, get showered, fed, and get my sorry ass to the office. I’m going to finish the current hydraulic model this morning and then knock out the draft report this afternoon. Then it will be on to Number 3 tomorrow and hopefully have it knocked out Friday. I think I’ll do the hydraulic modeling for Number 4 over the weekend and get that report out Monday, which will leave one more to be done (and any report editing) by the following Friday.

Then it will be off to Park City, Utah, for the National Hydraulic Engineering Conference and a paper to present (which is still wanting attention). But, a week in Park City will be good. I’m planning on doing some walking while I’m there and maybe even make a few images.
