Today I learned the virtue of just listening to your body. The day started early with a 3 mile run. This is recovery week for the half marathon, so the mileage is pretty short. I decided to try to push my speed. I did fine until the last half mile when I just wanted the damn run to end! I did an 11:59 mile pace - my fastest so far. Yea for me.
I spent the day in the city attempting to have another "soul day." Lesson learned. A "soul day" just happens. You can't actually plan or expect one. Boo! Anyway, I got back to the area at around 5:30 and was exhausted! I don't know why. I just wanted to crawl in bed. I didn't feel like going to CrossFit. I went home to prepare for a short nap. Eric sent a text message saying he wasn't coming in because he had to visit a sick friend. No problem. I'll run the WOD myself. It seemed to be a very doable WOD. But then I overshot my nap and woke up later than anticipated. I missed my WOD.
No complaints though. I needed the rest. I'm not even going to try to make it up by double-WODding it some other time. My body needed the rest. I'll give it that.
