You know you're tired in a workout when... (Page 3)

ouch

ha ha ha

Chalk it up to "it figures", I do that all the time.

These are great, and I am so happy NOT to be alone.

(this is on a greenway, so only one place to run out & back along the trail)

You are out for a run knowing there is a guy ahead of you that you are trying to catch. You are clicking along at 7:30/mile, and thinking there is no way this guy is out running you. Miles pass, you stop to cross the street, the dude comes up behind you, and you don't remember passing anyone.

You are on the trainer, deep in an evil grind, and on the verge of blacking out. Your thought process is "if I blackout, at least I can rest until I wake up", and it still takes you a few seconds to realize that is a bad idea.

Even worse if you're on rollers ;-)

you fell asleep twice trying to make it to the end of page 3 of this thread........

when you stop for an ice cream after your swim, and think if you sit down and let it melt, you can drink it thru a straw.

You wear boxers mountain biking?


You know you are tired when you use the wrong half of the map to wipe. The half you need in order to get home.

Your grinding through some miles running at 6am (halfway done with a 10 mile run) you talk to the dog and the dog answer

You come back from a morning run and decide to snuggle with your five year old in his teeny bed for just five minutes before waking him for school. That's where your husband finds you an hour and a half later.

You find yourself yelling "you can do it.... don't stop now.... just three more miles..." etc..

I have actually fallen asleep on my bike (outside not trainer) for a few seconds. This has actually happenned a couple times though not recently. :-)

I did 20 mile long run last summer and fell asleep in my ice bath,  woke up and the water was luke warm!

Thanks everyone for the laugh!  I need to get out and train harder!

when at 5 in the morn a fellow runner gives you a ''good morning'' you dont get it. try to think about what he just said. and never figure until youre done...

you get passed by an 8 year old girl on a disney princess bike while you are huffing away in aero on your $$$ tri-bike

This user's post has been ignored.

About mile 105 of the bike of your first IM.  You see an arrow painted on the ground.  It's indicating that you should turn right at the next street just ahead, but it's literally pointing into a driveway.  So you just think....'weird.  an arrow.  into a driveway...wonder what it's trying to tell me....' so you just keep riding straight, continuing to ponder the strange arrow.

At the time, yes.  Can't say I'm perfect ;p

When your legs are so tired you trip over the curb to your yard because you can't lift your legs, you fall in the grass and just lay there realizing how much more comfortable it is than the couch. 

You come in from a long run and spouse hits you with 3 or 4 issues/items/whatevers. The next day she says, "Remember, we discussed this when you came in from running yesterday."

Absolutely no recollection whatsoever.

Man this post makes me feel soooo much better....I was getting depressed thinking it was only me.  Glad it isn't just me getting older!!!!

This is so true! LOL
