I feel somewhat better although I am still working things through and it is showing up in all sorts of ways. I am beyond exhausted and at times – feel weepy. A good side to having to deal with this stress, I have gotten some great support and advice. My community of friends, in real life and on this blog, have taught me how important asking for support is. Holding in whatever is going on in your life only eats away at you from the inside — that’s not leading a fit and sore life! Focus on intentions and your long term goals — harder said than done. But I am dealing with it in the way an adult should deal with the situation, head on without trying to seek revenge or to hurt someone. I don’t have time for that kind of crap — life is too short. I keep going back to Scott’s cancer — that’s the kind of shit that’s worth fighting for – that means something.

Today’s workout was the kind of WOD where you just groan. I am still sore from Saturday’s Filthy 50 – with particular thanks to those good mornings for making my hamstrings scream. When the coach first of all agrees with how ‘bad’ this WOD is and has super sore hamstrings too — you know it’s not all in your head. Oh well — no excuses.
