War - Once it's started it's hard to end

My heart and brain are in combat. The fighting kept me up all night, not sure if I ever fell asleep. If I did I was in one hell of a nightmare.

5 am rolled around and I rolled over to turn off my phone. No AM swim. I just wanted to curl up in a ball and stay in my bed for eternity. So I did........until I had to go to work. Fortunately for me - I love my job and co-workers. They have a way of turning my frown upside down.

This workout was HARD but good. I felt strong. I couldn't think about anything but reach, pull, recover, reach, pull, recover....and breathe. For an hour it took me away from reality and at this point of time in my life it was priceless.
