Ad Hoc Workout

Today Heidi made one up for us, this being a make up day officially. It was 3 rounds of 400m run and 20 thrusters (unweighted bar). I did 13:59. Yanked something in my neck. I had woken up late and for some reason with what Churchill called the "black dog", a negative malaise / attitude which shows up for no reason at all. It first dawned on me, though I should have noted it before, doing pullups warmups when this inner voice was telling me to stop and rest after 6 or 7 pullups. I persisted till 10. It came back on the first run in the WOD, and I just kept pushing, trying to blow through the negative fog. It finally dissipated, like morning fog, in the third round on the run when sustained effort and persistence, thinking about positive things like finishing, made it evaporate.
