Rest Day

April 4, 2016–0 miles

My dread of rest day. The day you take off from training to recover your muscle and strength. But also the day when I don’t get my run in and I am even more exhausted just thinking about it. As my morning started again as you all slept. I was up and ready to do nothing. No run! Oh,how I dreaded this morning. I had done everything needed this weekend that nothing was left for me to do today. Just me myself and I with my morning. It would either be taking in the day or it would be long and dreadful. Today I’m back with my students for Track and Field and welcome it with open arms. By the way this rain is not helping any. It’s one of those days you dread to even get dressed. It is that yucky and also cold outside. My morning with child has not been easy lets just say the terrible twos are upon me. I’m not getting a break from it. I’m just adapting. You just have to if you want to conquer your goals and still function. Screw this I thought by 8:30am I got my weight training in. Could not at all help it. Needed something to do but when completed as hard as it was I was like nothing. The funny thing is what relaxed me the most was Becks lullaby show in which they sing nursery rhythms. I sat with him to just calm him down. But all the singing and hand gestures shifted my demeanor and progressed my day. Funny but so true. Try it why not! It was to be hubs day off. But he had to get in early so he could get back for my working afternoon. He is babysitter today and I will hand him right over. Today I have been thinking of some great little wishes that are happening. Last night I received some news as I laid in bed of someone so dear that will be joining my San Diego 100 crew/team for my race. I feel so privileged to have them along with there expertise. I just discussed with my husband how eventful the next few weeks will be and I would not change a thing. It is what makes my life. For the rest of this rainy dreary Monday. I will think of my upcoming week, my wishes, and my training and hope it just keeps getting better. A new week! I will take it in! Make it real good!
