I was pretty sleepy after work yesterday but I went to the gym anyway. I told myself “today is W4D1, I can do this”

My legs (and shins) had other plans.

I did the 3 minute run fine. I did the 5 minute run with the normal amount of “oh crap, I’m tired”. I did the next 3 minute run and my legs were crying. I tried to do the next 5 minute run and nope. Could not do it. I thought my legs were going to give out and I’d fall on my face onto the treadmill. I managed to go 1.6 miles in 25 minutes (the same as on Sunday) so it wasn’t completely a bust.

I was in a lot of pain but I’m a proud person and couldn’t let people see me limp away from the treadmill and then from the gym. So I sucked it up and casually got the hell outta there. Once I got in my car, it was a different story. I cried and rubbed my legs like I just got beat up by a bully. I’m a tough chick, ya know.

When I got home I did what any tough chick does after a work out: I wined to my mother and put ice on my legs.

Once I was done with the ice, my son (3 years old) told me his legs were broken and he needed ice. :-)

I’m not feeling too bad today. A little sore but nothing too painful. I shall try again tomorrow.
