Marathon Journey Day 4

Wednesday was such a busy exhausting day! Up at 4:30 AM and at the gym by 5 AM to do my 60 minute strength training workout. It was pretty good even though I was sore for all the exercise I have been doing. Work was grueling and I didn't think it was ever going to end. I worked 12 hours straight and couldn't relax once I got home. It took 2 hours for me to fall asleep. Hopefully Thursday night will be better.

I didn't get to swim tonight since I had to work but I will be swimming tomorrow!
