Recouping

Ever have one of those weeks where you just want to go cocoon somewhere until things get better?

That happened to me last week. I guess I hit a point where my tolerance for the aches and pains had reached it's limit so I took the week off to give the body parts a chance to rest.

In a moment of enlightenment, I realized that folks who are fighting diseases like cancer can't do this, so I truely treasured my hibernation time as a gift.

That said, the aches and pains are reduced and I'm ready to tackle the training run tomorrow...10 miles. Later!

Good call. Sometimes you just need to take a break. You will come back better for it!

Hope you have a good 10 miler!

Aaaaaahhhhhhh - - - I'm sure that's what your body was saying--"Thanks for the rest"!

Anxious to hear how the 10 mi. went yesterday.

Just went through the same thing, it's so worth listening to the body when it comes to training. Good luck on the 10 mile run.
