The Law of the Workout

...First time back in the gym since last Thursday, and I had to overcome one of the workout laws:  If your last workout was especially great, your next workout will be a letdown.  This goes all the way back to my power lifting days, and was proven correct again tonight.  I was about 4 minutes off pace of my personal best.  I knew five minutes in this workout was going to be shitty.

However, it's easy to give up on your letdown days - I didn't.  Five minutes in, I wanted to get off, and say it was a 'weight lifting night'.  My mind was trying to justify why it was OK to get off...but I didn't.  So for that, there's no less satisfaction than that of my great workout night.
