I had a date with Angie...but I stood her up

Oh boy. I missed Angie. And I really have no great excuse, other than I couldn't get momentum towards the gym. In all fairness to myself Monday was my first day off with no obligations in a very long time. And part of me just wanted to do absolutely nothing and soak in the freedom of not having to be anywhere at any particular time. Especially because I still had to do so much while being sick that I felt I got cheated out of a full-on face to the pillow kind of day. But man, the guilt factor is terrible. Because I know that I would have felt awesome afterward. And because I love Angie. And because the night before, I thought about my goal to not miss a single class this session. See the thing is, a few things have changed at my job which requires a ton of myself. It's been very rewarding, but it's a new level of multi-tasking and responsibility. Which means the days when I feel sluggish are rough. So I'm working on how to optimize my energy by both getting a ton of sleep as well as not missing any crossfit classes. I really only miss classes if I'm out of town or really need to sleep. And I have a feeling that I will be feeling the need for rest and rejuvenation quite a bit in the upcoming weeks, but I don't want that to mean missing training. I might switch to a later class, or re-arrange other aspects of how I organize my time. This month, being all Ladies and Heroes and a wrist that is really showing signs of healing, I don't want to miss this opportunity to get in the gym and be STRONG...it makes everything else in my life better and easier. So I post this to first, apologize to Angie...you have always been one of my favorites and I'm sorry I acted so selfishly on Monday. And second, to ask Angie out on a date at the end of the month...just you and me in my backyard. On October 31st, I'm posting my Angie score...until then, I'm going to hang with some cool ladies and heroes*

*a bunch of killer workouts named after women and fallen soldiers. Like Angie: 100 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats!
