Crying in the gym!

I cried at the end of my second 10K. I went into this weepy story of how my sister gave me a hat to the lady cutting my timing chip off lol. The best way to describe the feeling is that I got a personal record and I was so proud of myself for accomplishing something after all this hard work is that is just overflowed out my eyes.

It's ok! I've had a couple times the past few years where I cried in the gym...

1) Disappointment...I had a sprained ankle and was in the middle of training for a race, I hated my ankle being completely useless, and holding me back. All I could do were weights, and just watch the others do what I wanted to do. Or, I just simply gave up during a workout.
2) Proud...I made it through an intense workout, or I was amazed at what I had just completed.
3) Stressed...Days where exercising is the last thing I want to do, I was exhausted, I was sick of being healthy all the time, and in the middle of my workout, everything comes to me at once and I just break.

It doesn't happen often, but ever since I've started working out regularly (a little over 2 years now), I've had a couple days like that. But...I've had happy tears! The end of my first 5K I ran, I cried in my car, and the moment I crossed the finish line of my first half marathon, I teared up as they handed me my medal.

this is funny, in a good way, after I exercise I always smile, almost always, I'm usually very happy, it's the endorphins I'm sure
