Memorial Day Monday

Whooo today my body and mind were TIRED. I got up and tried to convince myself to only run 5 miles, only run 10, break up my run….I had 15 on schedule. I did not want to start running, at all actually. My legs just felt tired. AND today was suppose to be 7:30-8:00 pace for all 15 miles, which use to be my easy pace, but not with all the accumulated fatigue is a harder than easy pace. Welp, I got out, and went 7.5 out and 7.5 back. I didn’t feel great, but not SO terrible either. At some points I wanted to slow down. I’m not going to lie, I was glad I got through it and it’s over. It was also super humid and when I got back I sat in my Normatecs, and took a little nap because I wasn’t working today.

My cousin Brad has been studying abroad in Ireland for the whole semester so he stopped over mid morning and I was SO HAPPY to see him. I swear I got some of his energy to ramp me back up to a living status. I missed him so much!

This afternoon I had a lifting session but it was only 30:00 since volume is cut from 3 sets to 2 sets this week and with less weight. It felt good to move but also weird because I didn’t get much of a “stimulus” almost. Again though, proud of my body and mind for getting it done. This week is going to be a character building week for sure.

I went out with my sister to the store, and it was nice to just talk with her and chill out!

Anyone have fun Memorial Day plans? So thankful for all who have served to protect our country! God bless AMERICA!
