Awesome frustration leads to awesome workout

The frustration from all the work situation going on with Ben has pushed me to work hard. I went on a run this morning and did things a little differently from our normal running morning schedule. I waited until Connor had his breakfast before we left. We went and as I started I knew I was feeling good but I didn't know how good and motivated I was feeling until I picked up for my long stretch. I did my first 5X1 then planned on running for a straight 15. As I got near the 13.5 mark, I decided I would keep going until 20 and see how I felt then. I got to 20 and still felt awesome but decided to switch back to 5x1's because I knew I had a few more of those and needed to have enough energy to finish. I did my first 5x1 after the 20 and was getting tired but knew I wanted to finish strong. I walked 2 minutes and then ran the rest of the way home...more than 5 minutes!!! Total time out was 46:24 but the exciting news was that I ran 38:11 of it!!!! I was more than happy with that and feel awesome about my acheivement today!
