Day 5 - Half Marathon Training

Today was nothing special yet so important...

REST DAY.

Rest is so hard to do sometimes. You're in the zone, you have your routine of finding run time everyday and then.... it's just STOP. For a whole day. For a runner, even if it's a welcomed rest day, it still feels like being held captive.

I took my oldest son out to lunch and found myself talking to the owner of the place about his marathon last weekend! And his daughter is doing the Pumpkinman triathlon tomorrow. Even on a rest day, I just can't get away from running and tri. And I never want to.

Tomorrow is 30 minutes of cross training. I'm already starting to mentally prepare myself for the 'long run' on Sunday.
