Unexpected Day Off

So, today didn't turn out as I had hoped. I worked all weekend (as usual) and even went to bed at a reasonable time last night.

When my alarm went off at 5:10, I hit snooze. No big deal. When I finally tried to get up at about 5:20, my whole body ached. Ached. Like the kind of ache when you are coming down with something. I couldn't breathe through my nose, either.

I decided that this was my body's way of telling me to take a day off. I obliged.

I have been fighting off some sinus thing for several days, and I guess it decided to hit me this morning. I didn't really start to feel decent until late this afternoon. As I type this, my husband is out pushing the Monster in the jogging stroller in the heat. I decided to stay behind, cook dinner, and enjoy some peace and quiet.

In the morning, I will be starting the 13.1 Jeff Galloway program. I got this nifty ap and I hope that I like it. I would really like to get below 2 hours on my 13.1 time. I have two scheduled this fall - two chances to really move that PR time!

I am going to admit now that I have training ADD and I tend to change my approach frequently.

Anyway, I could choose to be grumpy because I missed my work out this morning. I could choose to let it affect my self image. I'm not going to let that happen. I'm glad I've learned to listen to my body and take a day off when it's really needed.

Cheers!
