I think I'll stick to soccer...

Today was a day filled with lots of learning moments some good and some bad. I woke up and moved a dresser, TV and a desk into my car BY MYSELF...no need to get a lift in the gym today got my workout as a furniture mover. After driving the car back to Durham once again...for the millionth time I went to the track to run. 

The workout was good but I'm still kicking myself for not pushing myself harder. I did the bare minimum and that has never been how I operate. After three years of getting on the track and pushing myself to run circles around that stupid thing I've learned a lot about how to reflect on what I did and what to take from each workout. Today I wasn't myself and know that I didn't get that good feeling after finishing the workout. I know that cutting it short wont get me anywhere this summer and isn't worth all the time and effort I put into getting fit. While I'm not happy with the workout I'm glad it happened now, this early into the summer... as much as I want to do one less rep or set next time it will help me suck it up and do it. No matter how much I bitch and complain I will hold myself accountable better. Anyways here's the workout we did today:

3x800's each in 3:25

1:40 rest in between each

All of the other girls did 4 and I let myself get by and convinced myself doing three was okay. I wasn't satisfied afterwards and have been thinking about it all day. I can make excuses all day but I really do hate 800's they are the absolute worst run to do...getting around that track once and knowing you have to do ANOTHER lap is so mentally straining. But I'm better than that...and have higher standards that I lowered today. Anyways today is today and will be over and done with...tomorrow is a new day. 

I'm was really excited to visit my friend Nicole today I was going to bring her brownies because she just had surgery but I FAILED...failed MISERABLY at baking them. I called my mom and told her that being a housewife or baker will never "my calling" and I hope I make a lot of money one day so I can hire someone to cook for me. The brownies were terrible and horrible tasting so I gave up and told Nicole I would bring her something STORE BOUGHT tomorrow haha. seriously who messes up brownies...gahhh i'm sticking with soccer for now

Anyways....I'm happy its the weekend...not that it really matters anymore because its summer and school is out. But I am going to sleeeeeep in tomorrow and wake up whenever my body tells me to because this first week of workouts has really exhausted me. Its nice that I have had the liberty to just workout this week and let my body adjust to all the extra exercise. I have lots to do tomorrow but really really want to get in a recovery jog or a swim if possible...one of the best parts of the summer is the ability to cross train and experiment with various training styles....sooooo dorky I know. Fellow athletes I KNOW you feel the same. haha that comment didn't make me any cooler well im off to bed night night!
