π Morning Reflections & Running on Empty
β° Time Check: 12:17 PM β Technically afternoon, but it still feels like morning since I **only got out of bed 45 minutes ago**. Running on fumes after another rough night shift.
π― The Reality Check:
- π΄ **Fell asleep at 2 AM, woke up at 3 AM.**
- π΅ **Basically had a one-hour nap instead of real sleep.**
- π€ **Right wrist is messed up, but I donβt want to cancel on my brother.**
π₯ Takeaway: **Even when running on empty, showing up still matters.**
ποΈ Training with My Little Brother
- πͺ **Learned new exercises**βturns out my skull crusher issues are **genetic.**
- π₯ **Adjustment Tip:** Doing **skull crushers on a cable machine** removes elbow pain.
- π― **Biggest Lesson:** **Donβt start with skull crushers**βour elbow structure means we need to warm up first.
π₯ Takeaway: **Small changes in exercise selection make a huge difference.**
π©Ί Chiropractor Visit & Reality Checks
π₯ **Finally saw my chiropractor after over a month.**
- π **She wasnβt surprised when I said I started running.**
- πββοΈ **Told her Iβm considering a triathlon next year**βshe laughed and said, *βOf course you are.β*
- π **Her advice? Dial things down to a 6 instead of an 11.**
- 𦡠**Knee issues? Yep. One of my tendons was out of place for two weeks.**
π₯ Takeaway: **Maybe, just maybe, I should listen to my body before it completely breaks.**
π Mindfulness & Gratitude Check-In
