Every muscle in my body is aching. And honestly...that should NOT be the case. Yes, SOME of my muscles should be sore because my gym workout was hard and I used a bunch of muscles I don't usually use.
However, I did not exercise my hip flexors in any way and even those are KILLING me. I literally feel like I was beat with a stick and I don't really want to move in anyway. My legs feel like I just ran 20 miles yesterday. Except I didn't.
In fact, I ran a grand total of about 10 steps while buying a new pair of running shoes. (Yay new running shoes!). I'm going to try and run the hilly loop twice today.
Physically, I think I can do it (or at least do most of it).
However, I have such mental issues with this path. I don't know why I psyche myself out so easily while running it. But, it's always such a struggle to finish one loop. And then, when I finish and decide to just walk, I feel fine like I can run another couple miles.
I know it's mental, I'm just not really sure how to get past it. But, I won't get past it unless I keep forcing myself to try. Right?
If I do manage to finish the loop twice...I plan to go shopping for some more disposable work clothes. I'm sick of all my shirts (and a lot of them have machine grease and other random stains on them) so it's time to get a new rotation of clothing. (I miss having a clean job that didn't make all my clothes smell funny or have weird stains). I'll pretend it's like a reward for a job well done. :-)
Hope everyone is having a good day!
