Call me lazy, or call me smart, but I make sure that there is adequate rest between big muscle work outs. Sunday and Tuesday were big, with a run in the middle, so I've chosen today as an off day. Instead, I've focused on eating 5 small meals, stretching, and taking care of other business that gets ignored when time is otherwise allotted.
Why rest? Muscles need time to heal and repair. Continued use may lead to overuse, which in turn results in injury or heaven forbid, de-motivation. After resting, you'll feel stronger, quicker, and more agile. It's just smart practice.
Tomorrow, 5 miles by peds. I can't wait.
Food: oatmeal, eggs, protein shake, salad, turkey taco
