Today was the day in which i had a meeting in which I found out very frustrating news about the work i had done over the past few years building my courses and department. I have tried to put it in perspective as an opportunity to reinvent myself in new spiritual and creative ways. I need to really invest in myself continually and reflect on the things which are truly important. I have just completed my doctorate and have done it in professional isolation. Todays workout was a way to continue the good habits that I have begun in my life and develop a follow through for completing the goals important to me like continuing with a positive diet and workout schedule.
I was able to get on the treadmill and start at 6.7 mph and warm up for 3 minutes and continue increasing for 3 minute intervals. I ended up completing 2.41 miles. I was able to work my upper body interms of weights as well 3 sets of 5 @100 lbs on the freemotion bench press. Then did arm curls at 3 sets of 6 at 70 lbs. I did 3 sets of 6 at 70lbs for the tricep press.
I was able to do 5 minutes of HIT training on the spin bike with 3 30 second intervals. I had trouble reaching max rpms at 100 today. I think my legs are getting tired after the longer runs and then intenseness today.
Not sure how I am going to refocus for the remaining part of the year but at least i know where I stand with many of the people who surround me. I am done with the mixed feelings and will complete a full on push for myself soon.
