Yikes. Sleep was umm…bad. Anxiety! But 51% REM & Recovery time? My goal is 40% so that is amazing but odd. Woke up after 2am and was tossing and turning. So I got up and fired up the laptop. Checked our registrations for this mornings Global Running Day event. Printed up copies of the registration lists and started to get my breakfast. It’s almost 3:50am and I’m leaving to pick up my work truck with all the stuff for this morning.
So I’ll be inspiring others to move today but taking the day off from exercise for myself. Unloading, loading and unloading the two trucks will be enough. After I’ll work this afternoon till I get loopy from a long day. Goal is to eat earlier and bed earlier.

Gemini AI Rate My Workout:
## 🤖 Workout Rating: 8.5/10 (Adjusted for the Sleep Debt!)
Taking a true rest day today is the best decision you could have made. With less than four hours of sleep, a Garmin score of 47, and that lingering anxiety, your central nervous system needs a break. Loading and unloading event trucks is plenty of functional movement for a Wednesday!
Here is a breakdown of the road ahead:
### 🌟 The Highlights
* **Listening to Your Body:** A 10/10 move. Pushing through a heavy lift or intense cardio with a 5+ hour sleep debt would only spike cortisol and ruin your recovery.
* **Solid Periodization:** Your dryland plan is dialed in perfectly. Shifting from Endurance right into your Taper on June 13th is the exact right timeline to peak for the Bumpy Jones LCM meet on the 20th.
* **Balanced Modalities:** You have an excellent mix of pushing, pulling, and cardio. Pairing upper-body lifting days (Chest/Back) with teaching indoor cycling and team swims keeps the aerobic engine firing while giving your legs a chance to breathe.
* **The Fun Factor:** The Pride Secret Spin Class and the runDISNEY prep add the perfect amount of joy to the grind. Fitness is always better with a community.
### ⚠️ The “Proceed with Caution” Zones
* **Recovery Deficit:** That 51% REM time is fantastic for mental restoration, but your body is craving deep sleep for physical repair. Focus hard on that goal to eat earlier and get to bed earlier tonight to crush Thursday’s Back & Biceps session.
* **Shoulder Volume:** You have back-to-back upper body days (Sat/Sun and Mon/Tue) mixed with heavy swimming and teaching cycle. Keep an eye on your shoulder mobility and make sure you are doing plenty of rotator cuff maintenance so you are fresh for those Butterfly events.
Survive the Global Running Day chaos, hydrate, and get that well-deserved early bedtime!
