Mentally and physically!
Not quite sure what has happened, maybe it was the bigger week of riding a week ago taking its toll, maybe it is the relief of the biopsy results finally coming in, or possibly just feeling exhausted from last weeks wobble still.
At the weekend just gone, I realised that recovering from a wobble seems to take much longer than the initial "feeling a bit better" phase of things. With the thought process, and energy levels just not snapping back as quickly as you might think they would. It is almost like recovering from the flu or something, and while you are not sniffling anymore, things just are not quite right, yet!
The past couple of days it has been really noticeable. Going for a run yesterday morning, my brain said "YEAAAAAHHH", my body said, "oh give it a rest!" Not that it was a bad run at all, but I am feeling it today. For the rest of the day yesterday I noticed I was sluggish while working. Physically slow, and mentally just taking my own sweet time about things. The cogs turning very slowly. I would go so far as to say almost a little confused and foggy. Right now, if I stop and look at the keyboard while I am typing, my eyes go all over the place looking for the next letter, then all the words I had in mind disappear.
Physically is where I notice it the most, a bit wobbly on my feet, tired and stiff when moving, mostly from DOMS from the run yesterday, but still. A little unstable, so taking extra care getting up, and getting out of the bath earlier too.
It is just frustrating to feel so low on energy in body and mind. That said an indoor session on Zwift was my limit today, especially as its so damn windy today. Sod being out there on a bike.
Hopefully over the next few days, as we head towards the weekend things improve and I have a bit more get up and go. One thing that might help with that is getting back into a better sleep routine, and cleaning up my diet a little. Weight gain makes me physically sluggish anyway, and poor sleep, well that is no good for anyone.
Fingers crossed I can clear this hurdle soon.
