Thursdays

If Monday's are my best days, Thursdays are probably the worst.  My body is tired and sore from pushing it hard the past 3 days.  My legs have been sore since Monday when I lifted but I have been stretching and working through it. 

Today I wanted to lift, run 8 miles and swim for 45 minutes.    I started my workout with weights...today focusing on back, biceps and abs.  I then moved on to my run.  After the first mile my legs were feeling good and I found my rhythm.  I reached mile 4 and was still feeling good...and then it happened.  I had to pee.  I hate it when I have to pee.  It ruins the whole momentum I've built up.  So, I ran to the bathroom and then decided to do another set of weights.  When I made it back to the treadmill I couldn't get going.  I ran another mile and a half.  I felt kinda shaky.  I hoped off and headed downstairs to the pool.  The pool felt good.  My breathing was under control and I swam for my 45 minutes.  I did about a mile.  I got out and showered, managed to have a small snack and then I was back to work.  Half way through my session I realized I should of had a bigger snack.  I started getting faint and queasy.  Luckily I made it through my session and went to get some lunch. 

Feeling much better now.  Maybe I will finish my run when I get back to work later.
