So, I was feeling very guilty this morning when I woke up, still full as I had eaten so much on the weekend and was really lazy (only exercise I did was a 2 hour bike ride on sat). I really had that Monday feeling and I never have the Monday feeling! I struggled all day feeling lethargic and bummed out - could hardly open my eyes in the morning, even though I had had a good 8 hours sleep.
So I made sure I kept my diet clean - lots of fruit and plenty of water! As soon as I got home, I headed to the gym. I didn't have a lot of time there and knew there was a possibility I could go back again later in the evening so I started off trying to run. Shin splints are still really sore but I managed a 1500m in 7.43 mins, beating my last time. Its all I could manage with my shins today but I plan on doing a 5 k tomorrow in the fields (softer ground).
Unfortunately the gym was packed at 7.30pm so I had to use whatever was free which turned out to be a completely random workout (not training specific muscles) I thought this would be OK as I am not aching due to my lazy weekend and I need a good kick start.

I spent exactly 1 hour in the gym and left feeling good. I am hoping to do Chest and Tri's tomorrow which is why I avoiding doing anything related today (apart from skull crushers). I am also parking in the furtherest spot away from gym. I know its a stupid thing to mention but when I think about it I normally drive to the closest spot which actually makes no sense when I go there to workout.
I found the handstands fun (even though I suck at them!) but had to stop after 10 because I started getting an audience and it put me off!
I am looking forward to feeling my body ache in the morning - reminds me to keep working hard :)
