Amy, I think I would literally fall apart if I didn’t have a rest day now and again. They’re insideous like that; they sneak up, grab you, and hold you hostage until they have their way with you.

Don’t you love the feeling of a well-earned rest day? Good for you for not only taking one, but for remembering to enjoy it!

Just found your blog through another Jill over at Jill Will Run.

Great post- and I agree, we must take a rest from heavy thinking! And sometimes from moving too

Good for you Lara! Rest days are training days too … so hard to remember that sometimes. Without resting all that lifting, running, swimming doesn’t help buid you up, it is just breaking you down. It is those magic “rest days” that build us back up stronger mentally and physically.

Enjoy it! Best from Austin, Joe

Jill, it’s been one of those weeks, hasn’t it! I’ve heard the same thing from several folks today. Have a good evening resting.

I’m feeling the same way… it’s been a long week. I love that you included the “heavy thinking” in there. That should be a required component of all rest days! I’m going to incorporate that philosophy into my evening today at least!
