6.9.2012 Rest Day

The Workout: None

I think that rest day is the hardest day of the week.  I know it sounds stupid and self-righteous maybe, but it's true.  I tend to get down on myself on rest day and feel really lazy.  It's a struggle to get through the day in a good mood.  My wife and I both struggle with this, so I assume it impacts a few more people than just us.  All I want to do is just go out for a run or do something active... I just want to train.

We were also talking about how it's a funny thing that we've both gone through periods in our life where working out wasn't a priority.  You know, we might go for a whole week without running!  Then why now, when it's one day off surrounded by 6 days on either side of training, do we feel so guilty for taking the time off?  I don't have the answer.

Maybe you've got some good tips to get through your rest day without beating yourself up.  Leave a comment, I'd like to hear them!
