Pushing

Well, I hit the gym this morning for a full-body push-pull workout. Part of the time I felt like I was sleep walking, at least through the set up. It took me a good 10-15 minutes to set everything up for my work out. Then the workout, which usually takes 30-40 minutes to complete, took me an hour to complete. Yes, I moved slower than usual, but I still worked. I went through the motions, but I hit it hard. It was agony. In fact, while I was trying to push myself to set up everything, I contemplated leaving the gym, heading home, and just taking the week off from lifting altogether. Fortunately, as I said, I pushed my way through. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, "they" say. Well, I certainly feel more tired.
