Today I was feeling very worn down and mentally drained. I felt on the edge of breakdown prior to workout. I told myself that sometimes you just have to do things and put in a good effort even when it feels like you can't. I saw jo before practice and she said to monitor my foot for it could turn into a SF. This messed with my head and I fed the bad wolf. Tempo felt slow but it was my fastest time. I didn't do the accels and jogged around instead, I started the workout but coming around on the back stretch the second time for the 600 and the 400 went into an anxiety/panic attack of hyperventilating. It felt as though I was crying, suffocating and choking. I don't know what happened but I stopped running. I found it hard to remain calm. I really don't like feeling this way. I wanted to do the workout properly and not have an episode, but I let my body take over. I pulled myself together and did a proper rep. My mind was not in the right place today. Under times of pressure my body and mind can get the best of me and it's something I am working on. I have come a long way over the past year and I'm proud of myself for the improvement I've made. Last year I would have a similar incident occur bi weekly or monthly and i would judge myself for it. Now they're rare and far between and a learning experience, to stop and reevaluate.
