Is there ever a perfect day to train? Do any of us feel 100% ready before we head out that door? Every time? I'm guessing the answer is no. Life elsewhere takes it tole on your motivation.
This is my gorgeous little girl Gracie with yoghurt round her mouth. She is 13 months and she has been poorly these last two days, which has meant Parsley and I have had very little sleep. Last night I had to sleep on the floor next to her cot as she couldn't bare to be left in the early hours. As you can imagine the next morning I was like a cranky zombie - NO TRAIN'. This was to be the second day of zombified no training.
..However, later on, even though I still felt rubbish Parsley got in early from work and suggested I get myself down to the box (he had forced himself to go in the morning just as wrecked as me). At first I said no I didn't feel 'in the mood' to which he replied "get in it". ..I thought about it and realised that there is never a perfect time to train. Even when I get up for my regular class after a full night's sleep I'm never bursting with energy, usually groggy and not feeling like I've enough sleep. ..so I ignored my grogginess and dragged myself over the box for open gym ..and here is what I managed..
2,000 metre row - 9:46
PB - 6 unbroken strict pull ups
muscle up practice - bar\rings
PB - unassisted ring dip (finally!!)
snatch practice
2 16kg pistols
..not too bad for a day that didn't feel meant for training!!
