Working It Out.

I was feeling so sleepy on the bus ride home from work today that I texted Val to cancel my workout with her. I thought, if I worked out on my own at home, I could workout earlier, not have to spend the 20 minutes walking there, it would just all around be less time consuming. She understood and that was that. I came to my sense about an hour later. I am going to workout anyways, I may as well get a better workout on the treadmill and see my friend. I could push myself for the hour and then hopefully be tired enough to get a good night sleep tonight. So that was a little victory for me. I didn't succomb to my lazyness. And I did a kickass workout too if I must say! I did 50 minutes on the treadmill and pushed myself to run in longer spurts than ever before. Also, every other time I would run, I would stop when my lungs or chest hurt. Tonight, I've realized I'm in good enough shape where that doesn't really happen anymore! I can now run until my legs start to hurt, which takes a lot longer. My legs will hurt tomorrow, but I'm pretty proud of myself!
