Listen to Your Body

Due to my half marathon training my “weeks” run Mon-Sun. This weekend I ended up running/working out Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon and planned on running today with tomorrow and Friday as rest days. I was so focused on WIW tomorrow that I knew I should have made today a rest day, but pushed it to tomorrow.

Well at the gym I felt “off.” I went to stretch first because I felt tight and I was so sleepy. I pushed through and got on the tredmill I was STRUGGLING. I got through a mile barely and then had to walk another mile. Between my toes and my body I knew it was a bad combo. After 2 miles I headed home and pretty much collapsed on the couch for 20 minutes (I NEVER sleep on my couch). I went and laid in my bed and was out for a little over a hour. I’m literally only up to eat (and watch White Collar). 

I’m so glad I didn’t push through the rest of my workout – I knew I would have regretted it or really hurt myself. But I am excited for WIW tomorrow since I didn put in so much work this week and if I see the 180s I will break out the new sneakers (but not the Nike+ sensor until I hit 35 lbs)
