One week you're on top...the next you're not

Last week I had an amazing week at the gym.  I pushed myself hard every day, went heavier than prescribed if I could and generally felt REALLY good about myself.  My weight was down and my strength was up, what more could I ask for!?  Oh wait, a 6:30 mile that's what!  My fastest mile since highschool and possible my fastest timed mile ever!

Today I walked in to the gym and everything felt difficult, or at least more difficult than normal.  A weird pinch in my hard, a pain in my elbow.  Compared to last week I felt so physically low, I even had to stop the workout because my elbow was causing me so much pain.  I know its because I pushed myself so hard last week and I know that I need to be okay with it and realize that sometimes you're on top and sometimes you're not, but it's annoying.

I know this isn't a very motivating post but I'm exhausted and it's only Monday!  Work has been super hard and the gym is supposed to be my outlet, but today it wasn't.  So I am letting all of that go and am headed out to a Blazer game with the hubbs which should be a lot of fun!  Tomorrow is a new day AND a day where I won't be working out at 5:30 AM!

I hope everyone has a happy and healthy Monday!
