WordPress certainly has a sense of humor!

Today was not at all typical. I had multiple meetings and stepped back into the gym today. It was far from typical. I think the only typical thing about today was waking up tired.

Even though I was here, there, everywhere, today turned out to be better than expected. I expected to hit a wall and be over it. That was not the case! I never hit a wall. I powered through and found joy in everything, especially the unexpectedness of stepping into the gym.

The emotions felt at the gym were not typical. I am not used to venturing further than the front row of cardio machines, especially not the back wall of weight lifting machines. I was nervous, scared, overwhelmed, and felt like a fish out of water. Normally, I can put on a brave face. However, when my group started doing the first reps, I felt like bolting. I felt like running the entire way home. But I stuck it out. I pictured the athletes in Paris right now and the mental fitness they have to have on the world stage. If they can do their event in front of a live audience and cameras, I can certainly lift the bar for an audience of one. The emotions were not typical for my gym experience. However, since I battled through them, I am stronger mentally now than I was a couple hours ago.

I am empowered and ready for tomorrow because I endured the untypical day of today.
