What a Morning

Good morning, Readers.
Picture
This hilarious drawing of a pun is by deviantart.com creator Cryptid-Creations. Click the image to go to their page. Also, this whale is me, currently.
This was not a good morning.

First, I overslept my alarm, meaning I had to rush to catch the bus.  Which, naturally, meant that I forgot my gym socks.  I had to workout in my shoes without socks.  Gross.

Then, while I was getting changed into my gear, I knocked over my water bottle.  It's one of those glass ones covered in a silicone sleeve to prevent it from smashing.  Except it smashed.  Water and glass everywhere.  Then, while cleaning up the mess, I managed to get cut by the broken glass.  It was only a small cut, but it would. not. stop. bleeding.  Blood everywhere.  Luckily, the guy at the front desk had a plaster, so I could put that one and go workout, sans water bottle.

R.I.P. water bottle.  You served me well.

Now I have to buy another water bottle, so also, fuck you, water bottle.

My run this morning did not go well.  I'm currently doing a couch to 5K, and thanks to some misunderstandings between the app and I, I'm behind a week.  The other weeks were a breeze.  Not today.  Day one of week four gave me a stitch (that awful cramp just below your ribs that you just can't get rid of. Yeah. That.), I had trouble keeping the pace.  I had issues breathing.  It was not a good run.

Then, as part of the new set of post-run workouts I'm doing because of my thingy (and by thingy I mean workout plan), turned out to be a disaster, too.  Part of the new set, which started today and will run for the next four weeks, has a medicine ball slam.  Now, unlike the medicine balls I've been working with thus far, the ones at this gym are bouncy as fuuuuuuuuuck.

So I slammed the medicine ball.  Hard.  It bounced up and slammed my face.

Look, I know I'm not the most coordinated person on the face of the planet, but I would've caught the damned thing with something other than my nose if I had known the thing would come flying back at me.

For a moment there I thought I had broken my nose.  I haven't, but I might get a pretty shiner out of it.  It hit me hard.

Ugh!

Still, I finished the workout, and then retired to the change room to sit and stew in my disappointment.

It's funny now, though.

I'm looking forward to a serious injury tonight at training to round off today.  That would be the cherry on this particular sundae.

Right, I have more editing to get through today.\

​Ciao!
