Bad day of working out...
I went to workout yesterday, and I did my normal spin class. It was supposed to also be a run night for me (4.5 miles @ an easy 10 minute pace)...
I got done with the bike and stepped on the treadmill... started the run and bonked just before a mile. I struggled to finish the mile just so I could put something down on the log for the day. I just couldn't get relaxed or comfortable, and it was the worst I felt in a long time. The weird thing was that I didn't run out of energy with the typical bonk, it was more of a drained feeling.
I'm glad that when I went back today I felt better after the bike enough to due a full weight workout.
This ever happen to anyone else?

Actually, I did feel that way once. Almost passed out on the military press machine. I didn't feel like I was going to, but suddenly I had no power and the world canted to one side.
The dude at the gym told me to have my heart checked and my blood sugar checked. He claimed a faulty ticker and a blood problem might both feel that way.
I told him I hadn't eaten yet that day. He said, "Duh."
Eating is an important thing to do before working out to ensure that the blood sugar level is stabilized and so you don't run out of energy. Your bonk was probably caused by low blood sugar. I have an interesting article of what and when to eat when exercising. I need to do create a “Cliffs Notes” of it and post it… maybe this weekend if I have some time.
