I must say I am tired - and I do not say that often. After the double workout of a.m. run and p.m. swim yesterday, I rose this a.m. at the usual 4:13, although I had been awake awhile and restless.
I didn't even debate not going to SealTeam. I knew today was going to be a tough double day but I was ready.
This morning we had Olympic Team Challenges - teams of 6 people given a country name, we were Bulgaria, competing against 10 other "countries" for medals. Okay, not medals, but 3 points for gold, 2 for silver and 1 for bronze.
Stations of physical activities to be completed by the team ranging from atomic situps, tricep pushups and dips, etc...it was a great workout! Bulgaria didn't score any points, but we definitely gave it heart, soul and sweat - 110%.
It was a grat morning - I felt it in my quads and hamstrings when I went to get in my car, as well as all through the day today...I had quad twitches in my left leg most of the day.
By 4p.m. I was spent - work was hectic and hellish to the point I thought my head would explode.
I knoew I only had to get through another hour and 15 minutes before heading to Spin class (aka - a$$ whipping courtesy of younf Karla).
Sure, I will go, keep it light and then head home...oh no...fellow SealTeam member in the room - Andy - also teammate from Bulgaria this a.m. AND since he saw me, no slacking.
I was glad, this would make me push.
And PUSH I did! Thank goodness.
I left feeling amazing, another double down.
I came home, heated up the dinner I pre-made for tonight, devoured it and now here I am.
Ready for tomorrow's run, although I fear it will be slow but good...then the new challenge of Master's Swim tomorrow night.
Garmin charged, shoes out, breakfast ready...swim bag packed and in the car!
Backup plan in place in case "Mr. Snow" causes a disruption to SealTeam run.
Hope you day was great...me, time to stretch and relax!
Run safe, run happy!
