Some Experiments Fail

Yesterday, I woke up too late to get in the sculpting workout I had planned for the morning. "No problem!" I thought. It's only a 30 minute workout -- I can wedge that in before I go running tonight.

Oh, foolish mortal.

The sculpting workout was fine, but my run suffered terribly. I hit 30 minutes and started walking. Damn! I think normally,around the 30 minute mark, my body starts cranking out endorphins and that allows me to keep going to the 48 minutes I have worked up to so far. But last night, my body was all "Um, hey, idiot, you used up your endorphins on the beginning of your run, after your 30 minutes of weight training! You're cut off!" What a stupid struggle of a learning experience!

At least now I know one more thing about what my body is willing to do.
