Sometimes. . . .

Sometimes, you know from the moment you wake up that your workout is going to su-hu-huck.

Sometimes, it does.

And sometimes, afterwards, you don't have the perspective to be wise and long-view and sage about it, and all you can do is curse the stupid workout and your stupid failure of a body and your pathetic tendency to care so much and wrap up so much of your worth in one workout.

And then sometimes you have a shower and a stretch and a coffee and you realize that your sucky workout still is contributing to overall fitness. It's still contributing to mental toughness. And it still sucked.

But sometimes, life is like that.
