Doing The Right Thing

I've been going nonstop for the almost 2 months working out 6 days a week and for 3 of them twice a day.  On top of that I've been making sure I exercise on Sundays by walking or running.  So basically, 7 days a week.  I got to a point about a week or so ago I started feeling tired but kept saying keep moving because I can't stop if I'm going to make my goals.  But as the past week or so has gone on I could tell my body was slowing down.  The other night I came home from a workout and just started crying for no reason because I was tired from the workout.  We had done a HERO WOD the day before and I was feeling good but then that next day I didn't think I would make it through the WOD.  But I did.  Then when I went home I fell apart.  I can't blame it all on the WOD's because my job is extremely stressful right now.  So, I decided to talk to the trainer who was coaching Friday night about taking a day off because he always seems to be on the same page as the head coach.  I told him how I was feeling and he gave me some good advice and assured me there was no problem in my taking a day off. 


Just as I thought all that was solved and had messaged the head coach and found out he was in agreement and threw some conversations back at me that we had a while back about him telling me to take a day off I was okay with my decision.  Then he goes and posts the WOD for today.  He posts the one WOD I had told a few of my CF friends I wanted to do.  That pissed me off.  I know he had no way of knowing but darn it why did he have to do that.  So there went the back and forth of I want to do this and I really need to learn to take the advice given. 


So, after a restless night I have decided to take the day of rest and suck it up.  I'm still pissed because I miss the energy and the enthusiasm that comes with these HERO WOD's.  There's just something about them that gets several of us motivated and what looks like an hour of hell turns out to be an hour of fun.  These are just not the WOD's you want to do by yourself.  Hard to explain but it is. 


DAMN IT!!!  I hate doing what is right.  And I hate even more this coach is right!!!
