Tired

Today I found myself pretty exhausted. This semester, my classes are less demanding than they usually are so I find myself having a lot of more time to do things. So now that I have extra time, I have been going to hot yoga classes at a studio in town. I think this type of yoga is awesome for training because I can get a really good stretch and It helps a lot with core strength. I have been going to these classes on and off since last year and I have really enjoyed it. I also started playing intramural basketball this week. I know that this is risky, considering the fact that I am training and I really really do no want to get injured. But I am too competitive and too in love with the game to stop. I have about three games per week because I am playing in the girls and in the guys league. These two factors are making my training a little more strenuous than planed. Today was the first day that I realized this. At 430 I went to an hour long yoga class which I didn't think was terribly challenging. Right afterward I went over to the REC center to play in one game of basketball, in which I played the majority of the game. During the game I became very winded. I consider my self in pretty good shape in the sense that I can run long periods of time without stopping, but when it comes to sprinting up and down the court, I wasn't as trained as I thought. I found myself very exhausted. It was a very intense game though so maybe that is something I have to consider. (we won by 1 point by the way). So after the game I found myself wondering if I could even walk on a treadmill let alone run. So I changed out of my sweaty clothes to change in to new ones. I dragged myself up to the cardio room and got on a treadmill. I only lasted 10 min before I felt like my legs were dead. So I at least ran about a mile, then opted to go to the elliptical machine for another 10 min. I was pretty tired at the end of the day today. To make matters worse, tomorrow I have two basketball games because the men's team I am on and the women's I am on both have a game. So now I have to decided if I should workout before I play two games back to back or after... judging by today, I should probably workout first and just suck it up for the games. We will see how this goes.....
