Day 5 (Or 1)

Today's lesson...Drama. There is no place for it. Seriously. There is no need to create it if you do not know the intentions behind another person's interactions. It is frustrating to see grown adults stirring the pot and becoming defensive over something that doesn't concern them without knowing ANYTHING at all about it. There are TWO sides to every story and neither side is 100% right nor 100% wrong. Both sides are responsible and both sides need to work it out and move on without involving every single person into it. That being said...I am the worst at keeping people out of it so I apologize and am trying to change that (change comes with time, quit expecting perfection!) The five minutes of drama, however, could not destroy the good mood I was in from my fabulous weekend, and my amazing Monday!

Monday was a great day. The workout was so incredibly daunting when I was thinking about it but when I sat down to start my 100 situps, I just focused on getting through it and pushing myself until I was done. I was pretty happy with 40 unbroken situps and then doing sets of 10 with minimal breaks. After the 100 situps, we did 4 rounds for time of 6 Thrusters and 10 Pullups. I dropped the weight from RX at 95# to 55# to take it easy. It wasn't bad. The weight seemed good and there wasn't a problem with my knee which was a plus. I really have to thank Tim and Denise for encouraging me with the weighted BackSquats prior to the WOD. Both were helping to watch my form and make sure that I am pushing my knees out over my toes instead of inwards. Overall, I felt really good! Tired, but good. I am still leery over running and I tend to shy away from activities that will cause me pain. Soreness isn't bad but actual pain is and I do not want to cause any further damage. Rowing at CF has been really good and I will be starting my light jogging/fast walking this week with my roommates to help get us ready for the 5k

Which, by the way, I am still super excited about! I do not care that other people cannot have my level of enthusiasm and excitement over this, nothing can diminish it! The hope bashers and dream killers need to calm down and let me be excited!

Alright, that is all.
