Ever have those days where you just couldn't get your mind to settle down? That was me today. I ran my 12 miles yesterday, and I knew that today was a rest day. In fact, yesterday I commented that I was SOOOOOO glad today was a rest day.
Well you know what? I just couldn't 'rest' today. My mind is all over the place. I considered a run, but really, my running legs need a break, especially with my calf/Achilles or whatever it is that's sore.
Instead, I pulled out the rusty bike my Hubby found. The seat is torn, the tires were flat, and the handle bars aren't even. But Hubby put some air in the tires and put some oil on the bike chain for me. And off I went.
I've mentioned before how stationary bikes/spin class/etc is really difficult for me. Riding my bike today proved to be the same tough workout. It was fun though to get out, sweat, and clear my mind a bit.
I got in 6 miles in about 32 minutes. I know - not fast. But my legs were jello when I got off.
Not too bad for a 'rest' day. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks! I even got out today and did some miles while my Hubby ate breakfast since today was a 'rest day' from running
