sometimes i hate fridays

It’s the end of the work week. Perfect time to hang out with friends, catch a movie or spend hours and hours over coffee.

Unfortunately, Friday is also a quality workout day for me. Hay! Hello 800s, mile repeats and compound sets. Hello Pain.

I’ve been skipping Friday workouts for 3 weeks now and I’ve been feeling mighty guilty about it. I couldn’t wake up early enough to visit the track and better alternative activities always pop up for the evening.

I thought I would miss it again yesterday. I woke up at 4am but couldn’t peel myself off my bed so I ended up going back to sleep. With RadioBossLady birthday party in the evening, I was  ready to say bye bye to the 800s.

At around 12nn, I figured if i cut down on my rest intervals I could do the 800s in the gym and still have a quickie lunch.

I dragged myself to the gym. It took me forever to convince myself to hop on the treadmill. *grumble grumble* After the 2nd repeat I was glowing and smiling widely. Not too bad. I was hitting my pace and I even the plantars are cooperating.

:) Happiness!

Sometimes I hate Fridays, but not this Friday.

800s, check!

Party, check! Happy birthday Marga!

See y’all tomorrow at the Globe Run!
