Today’s Run:  Rest Day

I used to dread the word “Rest Day” on my training schedule.  I thought I was Invincible!  I could run every day of the week.  Little runs~not the huge runs…just keep on going like the Energizer Bunny.  That was until the larger runs arrived.

I am 51 years old.  I am not the Energizer Bunny.  I am not Invincible.  I need my Rest Days.  They are not the dreaded day any more.  When they arrive on my schedule, I no longer say “Oh Dreadful Day”, instead I say “Goodie!”

And I rest on my Rest Day!  I no longer make up excuses to do some type of activity~well except for cutting the grass…that HAS to be done.  But other than that, I am a slug.  I get my housework done first thing in the morning and then recline.  I am tired.

So, today is a rest day.  I am going to go to church this morning.  I have to go to the grocery store then I am going to come home and bake bread.  A nice, restful day.
