Rest-Day Guilt

[Kim H. (3317301249)]

I need a rest day. Somebody PLEASE tell me to sit my behind down just for ONE day!

Haha. I think that a lot of people struggle with rest days, but please listen to your body. If you need rest, take the rest. It is better to rest now than be forced to rest due to injury.

( Picture a mom/dad person, eyes narrowed, pointing to a nice cozy spot in your favorite room!) Just sit your ass right down, there, yeah, right there! One day off isn’t going to ruin your entire year of “Run the Year”! ( I’m not a parent so I don’t know if I have it all down perfect) in reality, if you need a day off from running/exercising, take it, that is supposed to be part of the training too, being smart enough to take the days off when you need them. You wouldn’t tell a worker to skip vacation days since it would mess up the number of days worked in a row, would you? No, the smart people take a day here and a day there.

It’s so hard, isn’t it? But remember the long term goal is to stay running and injury free- which means rest is productive and essential!!! Especially when your body and/or mind is screaming for it.

Take an active day off…. Yoga, stretching, meditation. The only limits are the ones you set.

RIGHT there!

I have a hard time with this too. But it is so important to take a day off. Last week I wasn’t good about that. But that’s because I was still trying to get over 50 in. But I will be this week. I just need to plan my miles better.
