For me, these days stink but I know they are crucial. I literally forced myself not to workout at all. However, my body is a bit over trained and I think this is why I continually get these pains that make me stop. I want these pains to stop so I have to train smart and listen to my body. Listen?! HA! Those who know me know that is not something I'm good at. I mean come on, I am a teacher people listen to me...haha:-)I haven't been able to train for more than 2 months at a time without an injury for two years. I want to be able to reach my potential, in which I don't know that I ever did even in college. I was forced out by an injury going into my last seasons and never got the opportunities to hit my PRs.
I got some things done today and got to just relax...that really never happens. I also got my paperwork in for the sponsorship and should be featured on their site by the end of the month. I want to represent 3 disciplines racing with the best of my ability and I have to be healthy to do that. They're a great team and put on some great races. They are located out of Michigan but bring some triathlons to our area. Check them out at www.3disciplines.com
Good thinking on the rest day!! Your body doesn't need the training that just a regular body would need anyway, because your never really out of shape compared to 90% of the population. We never want to do the things we don't think are fun...I guess yours are rest days.
