Rest days are harder to take than you think...

Well, it's 2 days before my 1/2 marathon and I'm on scheduled rest. I know I should be enjoying it but when you're kind of used of training and you like the little break from the kids with the gym daycare, I kind of miss it. So today I'm going to address my restlessness. Why can't I enjoy a day of rest? Is it because I'm addicted to exercise (I'm not that hardcore), it's kind of like my cup of coffee, the day's just a little better with it. I think the concept for me to learn it how beneficial rest is for my body - a day off doesn't mean sluggishness and backtracking - it actually means replenishing and renewing. Sounds a lot better. I need to repeat that:

• replenishing and renewing

• replenishing and renewing

• replenishing and renewing

I feel better all ready, you know I think when I hit that race start line - I'm going to know how itchy my legs are to just giv'r, and this rest is going to be the best present I ever gave them.

Here's to Rest Day!
