I just knew that today’s workout was going to be my least favorite workout of this month’s session.  It’s that 25lb plate OH Run that just kills it for me. How deep do I need to dig to get through that, because trust me — I dig pretty darn deep to struggle through and it never seems to get easier.

I woke up with the start of a cold –seems I can’t catch a break. My family thinks it’s because of my new eating approach. I wonder if it’s my body rebelling and ‘missing‘ the toxins that I used to eat. Time will tell I guess –but it definitely made heading to workout that much harder. When that alarm went off at 5a — the first thing i thought was ‘there is no way it could be 5a already‘ — I know we all have had that thought from time to time!

checkpoint push-ups
20lb db lunge squats x2
100m bounding/primal walk
200m run with 25lb plate OH
65lb back squats

I did finish but not in the 30 min timeframe — but I am ok with that. In my final round — I was doing the primal walk and I literally stopped and sat on my butt thinking about just stopping and heading home. I was over the time limit anyways — so, I finished the crawl and headed to get my stuff. But then I realized — I was so close to being done, time limit or not, and that finishing is not optional. So I picked up that 25lb plate and fast walked it the 200ms and finished.  Sometimes you have to dig deeper and find the strength to to just do it!
