Frank’s Journal – Entry 2: “Just Another Monday” (July 13, 2026)

Longest Monday ever. Deadlines are stacking up at work and it feels like everything is due yesterday. I barely had time to breathe between meetings. Lost touch with a couple of my buddies lately — used to grab a beer or shoot hoops, but now it’s just texts that go unanswered for weeks.

Lunch was a drive-thru burger inhaled at my desk. By 2:30 I was staring at the screen, eyes burning, body heavy, wondering how I was going to make it to 5. Somehow I did… barely.

This morning at 6 AM I drove past the CrossFit gym and saw a group already out running — laughing, pushing each other, looking wide awake. Meanwhile I was gripping my coffee like a lifeline just to stay alert for the commute.

I know I need this. I need something to shake off this fog and get my energy back. But after a day like today, the idea of walking into a gym full of people who seem to have it all together just feels… intimidating. Maybe I’ll check their schedule tomorrow. Or the day after.

We’ll see.
