I went over and down to Palm Springs to play golf with my Dad for the weekend. I played 36 holes. I was +4 for the first 18….if your counting net golf balls lost/found and I lost about 7. So yeah, I’m pretty good at finding other people’s terribly hit golf balls. Second 18 was much better. Nice to walk and enjoy the desert scenery.

I ran about 5.5 miles and everything felt pretty good. I’m excited for my first 5k of the season on Saturday even though its a road race. Lots more hurdle work this week.

After this long day, I worked out next to my Dad in the gym. One of the things he said on the golf course today, other than the countless tips to improve my form (which definitely helped), was to “exercise those demons”. I thought it was a pretty cool saying. Not sure if he heard it from someone else or just made it up (he would probably claim the latter). The point is that I know I have built up anger and frustration during workouts and in life in general but if I use that energy towards bettering myself, pushing myself, and being a little more aggressive with what I know I can be doing better, more efficiently, etc., those negative feelings or energy can be harnessed for a greater good. It’s good to let them loose, just get control and use them in the right way.
