I'm Still Here...

Someone asked yesterday "Did you give up on training?" referring to my blogging. No, I haven't given up - things got very busy. Children's Hospital, remotes, kids, life.
My workouts have been suffering due to the schedule that I've been keeping. BUT, I have found that when I skip a few days (7 or so), I get back to running with a burst of energy that makes me go further than I normally do. I guess with the extra rest, it makes sense.
Professional runners suggest that days leading up to your event, to put more "break" days in between training to build up that burst of energy you'll need on the day of the run.
I guess I've been "breaking" for about the last 7 years...whats a few days in between the workouts?

TIP: Take 30 minutes a day and do something for yourself. Take a bath, a nap, sit on your porch and look at the clouds. I know it sounds like a no brainer, but it helps ease tension and stress.
Do you do that now??? You should - you deserve it!
