New goal/habit: Saying a quick thank you to God every time I begin a workout.
"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."

Thankful
Need to remember on every ride, run, or swim that it could be my last, at least for awhile. Running is something I should especially be grateful for. With my injury history, I could ruin my season, or even career, by just one misstep or one interval too many. Cycling is such a dangerous sport as it is, but to throw in crazy drivers, rain, texting, mechanical failures, a fun, relaxed ride could turn into a tragedy at any given moment. I am trying to be thankful for the body I have been given and to never take it for granted. As much as some of my workouts really suck and I dread doing them, I need to appreciate that I can do them.

Finally.
Finally a damn good workout for the books, and on Track Tuesday, my least favorite day of the week. I hate the feeling of dreading that track workout all day on Tuesday. I always try and wake up early before work to squeeze in the workout, but I am just so tired that I can't get myself out of bed.
So after work, I had a dentist appointment and I swear the hygienist was trying to hook me up with her son. It started storming after the appointment, so I headed on home to get a snack and wait out the storm. I ended up falling asleep and took a nice 30 minute shnooze before the workout.
I warmed up and felt awesome, not hip pain whatsoever. I was so happy. I did the workout on my own with the exception of the last 800, I was able to talk my friend into running it with me.
Heres the break down of the workout:
1. 1:30, 1:31
2. 1:31, 1:30
3. 1:32 , 1:32
4. 1:32, 1:31
5: 1:32, 1: 34
6. 1:29, 1:27-- THAT'S 2:56!!!!!
Finally a sub 3 minute 800. I definitely think the rest day on Monday helped, but I am so thrilled with my workout. And I was definitely able to still push the bike today.
I AM SO READY FOR NATIONALS. I really think I am going to surprise myself.
