\"\"<\/a> I was hoping to get four runs in this week but it was not to be.<\/p>\n

I woke up with a killer headache and running with a headache is not my idea of a great time. \u00a0The pounding of the pavement doesn’t do anything to improve the pounding in head so running was right out.<\/p>\n

However it was amazing outside this morning. \u00a0Very cool and with some high breezes that I’m sure is a side effect of Ms. Irene. \u00a0It was so cool this morning that I had to put on long pants, the first time this season! And a light sweatshirt for a quick walk around the hood. Bonus, I got to wear my favorite running pants which are made by\u00a0Adidas. \u00a0They are so comfortable!<\/p>\n

Best picture I could get of them. Consider it “artsy and dramatic”.<\/p>\n

I had to get outside since there was so much fall in the air. \u00a0Once I got out there though all I thought about was being home. \u00a0You know it’s a rest day when even as you’re working out, you don’t want to be and you’d rather be home.<\/p>\n

I made quick work of my walk and then I picked up Rocks and made quick work of his walk as well. \u00a0Once home I got snugs in my jammies and had some fantastic coffee.<\/p>\n

Working out, no matter you choice of exercise, is always a mental game. You have to gear up for it and sometimes you have to psych yourself out to get some things done. \u00a0However there are times when you need to chill and maybe the blahs you’re feeling is your body’s way of telling you it’s time for a break.<\/p>\n

We need to honor that and listen.<\/p>\n

Today I wasn’t feeling it. Even with the sun shining and the weather being cool and crisp, I wanted nothing more than to sit in my jammies with my coffee.<\/p>\n

Taking a break doesn’t mean you’re slacking off or any less hardcore than you normally are.<\/p>\n

It means you’re being smart and listening to what your body wants.<\/p>\n

How was training for you this week?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
