This week my plan was to achieve last week’s goal of four workouts. I was doing really well until Wednesday when I had to slow down to let my icky stomach heal. That was ok because I did not have yoga at Ti Kaye which meant I could run on Thursday. My body had other plans though. I lay down for my nap on Thursday and instead of the regular 1 hour I woke up 4 hours later to a dark house. I listened to my body and canceled the run. I’m still happy with my progress so far. Here’s what my training looked like this week:
Sunday: One hour run
Monday: 45 minute run, 30 minutes yoga
Tuesday: Swim twenty minutes
Wednesday: Sick
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Rest
This week I plan to swim, use ice cups, and continue to run on the field instead of the road.
How do you know when your body needs more rest than usual?
Good for you – I’m glad you’re listening to your body too!
