"Congratulations! You completed your first two runs and you've reached your first rest day. That's right, you're not running today. Give yourself a well-deserved break from exercise. Or, if you have the energy and the motivation, do some cross-training. Go for a hike, ride a bike, or take a yoga class. But whatever you do, make sure you take it easy. Rest days are important to give your running muscles a break and help prevent injury."
So what did I do with my night off? I curled up in my bed and watched Alladin with my 4 year old cuddlebug rather than run...after I induldged in 2 pieces of homemade lagsna for dinner. And it felt wonderful. And today, my legs don't hurt anywhere and I'm ready for tonight's workout.
I may not love running yet...but I do love the days off...
