Days Between

As I get older, I've learned that getting rest is nearly as important as my training regime itself. I was really tempted to run last night, the mild weather and sunny skies were enticing. On second thought, I listened to my body which told me that two hard days of running and a night of basketball merited a night off! Knowing that I'll either be charging up the Cherokee Hills tonight or trying to keep up with my running buddies on a tempo run also reminded me that it made more sense to take a day off. I'm particularly stubborn in the spring and fall because I generally like to take advantage of the weather and run everyday, it makes my decision a little easier when it is sub 40 degrees. I hope the rest pays off in the next few weeks as I have 4 races coming up (I'm also doing a 10K in Oldham County.) Congrats again to all the Anthem finishers!

Happy Running
