4 easy on the treadmill. Felt 10 times better than yesterday. Going to keep it slow and easy this entire week and hopefully feel alright by next Saturday to clip off a decent 5k.
On my way home from Boston I read parts of "Iron War" after I read a great book that my uncle suggested while we were there (more on that in one sec). Iron War is worth reading if you have not picked it up. I was feeling a little defeated on the flight as I thought about my race. I thought this quote was worth sharing.
That experience of having to drag yourself across the finish line when there's a thousand and one times you want to quit, when you don't feel you can make it, but somehow you do, it gives you a perspective within which to always have a shred of hope that somehow it will turn around for you. And when you have that inside, no matter how bad it looks., there is always a part of you that will continue to give it what you have.
The book my uncle suggested is short, only took about 2 hours to read. Super entertaining and informative as well. It is called "The Curmudgeon's Guide to Getting Ahead: Dos and Don'ts of Right Behavior, Tough Thinking, Clear Writing, and Living a Good Life" It made me laugh out loud on the plane and think about a few changes I could make in my professional and personal life.
