I was sitting on one of the benches yesterday when out of the blue I began to smirk. One of my training partners inquired, "What the fuck is up?" That's when I began to laugh. Not the maniacal type of laugh, but the satisfying, I just fixed my attitude and I'm happy kind of laugh.

I couldn't put my finger on it right away, but I was ALL morning in the mood to be sarcastic and to kick someone's ass.

REALLY, I wanted to light someone up for any reason I could find.

That's when I knew I had to get a hold of myself and change my attitude to one of gratitude and I needed to do that PRONTO! That's when I smirked and knew I had it under control.

I've always been one to be able to compartmentalize my life in general.

I can separate being angry with something on one hand and being perfectly normal on the other.

Putting on my 1000-yard Death Stare in one second and a welcoming smile in the next.

Regardless, it's being able to switch attitudes in a hurry I am grateful for.

As for the REASON I was so pissed? The closest I could figure out is that I am WAY OVER-TRAINED! (and not by a little)

I am tired, sore, and not recovering. I'm irritable, sarcastic, and itching for a tilt.

If I saw these signs in any of the people I train, I would know right of way. But because it's ME, I am totally aclueistic (if you look that up, you are too).

So here's today's training:

Nothing!

I slept in

No run

No cycle

No shoulder stuff

Nothing...

I even drove my car to the gym.

Observation? I'm feel'n purdy gooder right now!
