Here’s something I’ve learned about karate class: If I don’t hydrate myself that day, the next morning is going to suck.
On Monday I spent the day drinking lots of water, then went to sparring class, sweat my ass off and felt great the next day. (I also felt great about the class itself, some things, especially defensively, are starting to feel a little more natural…)
On Wednesday, I was lazy, drank a Diet Pepsi at lunch (instead of my normal vitamin water) and then spent my class feeling tight and gassed. Now Thursday morning, ugh. It really feels like a hangover. My head is hazy, my muscles ache… Bleh.
