Topic: Off Days?
teetsel4 Joined Jan 2008 Posts: 252	Fri 07/04/08 11:26 AM Ok, I have this question..... There are some days that I can run forever and not get out of breath. Other days I can only run 15 mins then take a break. Why is that? Today I went for my run and I was completely off. I pushed myself to get thru it but it was tough. Then when I got home to do my crunches, I couldn't even do them! I normally do 150, but today I could only do 50!!!! What gives?

Or, if I'm low on sleep, or haven't eaten/drank enough during the day. And then, there is the "X factor". Some days, for no apparent reason. . .I'm suddenly a wimp. . .and my normal workout is harder. I just chalk it up to the wonderfully bizarre machine that is my body.
