This past week, after my epic 16 mile run, I
came down with the dreaded “first cold of the season.” I started feeling eh
last Saturday afternoon but chocked it up to allergies. By Wednesday, my body
was telling me something that starts with an F and ends with a You. So I took it easy all week.
Even though I knew Saturday was a recovery
week, I made the executive life decision to not meet up with my TEAM for the run
and instead give my body a B-R-E-A-K.
Boy, did it ever make a difference.
Saturday afternoon I got in about 8 pretty slow miles, but was glad to
just get out in the beautiful Tennessee fall weather and just run. I'm feeling a zillion times better and ready for a big week ahead.
Listen to your body – it knows what it’s
talking about.
