Yes there's some rest for the wicked

Lately every body part has been screaming bloody murder so I knew I had to make a full stop or something would give.

I say this every time I taper but … the time! I had so much time on my hands.

What did I do on my rest day? Hmm I got up four hours before work. I cleaned my apartment. I chopped vegetables. I wasted an hour waiting at the hair salon (long story). I straightened my hair. I made my bed. I read articles from the Ottawa Citizen, the Globe and Mail and the Calgary Herald online.

I felt rested and alert all day at work. I told a few people I didn’t run or go to crossfit. They didn’t blink an eye or care one bit. I guess the world did not stop because I took a day to regroup. Imagine that? I was crushed.
