Tough Week

This week I am tired. The stress of two 40+ mile running weeks has left me mentally and physically tired. It was obvious in my run today as I never got my heart rate to where I wanted it. I still did the planned workout, but am looking forward to my day off tomorrow. As a coach I know the importance of rest days. As an athlete, my coach tells me about the importance of rest days also. But I don't seem to listen. I am going to rest tomorrow. I will be running 15 - 16 miles Sunday, but am going to do it without a watch. The way coach put it, "enjoy the sunrise and nature". I plan on an easy run with no time constraints. I will let you know how it works out.

    I'll vouch for the watchless running. It is nice to do sometimes (I wore my RoadID in place and did not notice). Job hunting is definitely a stressful thing-keep the faith!

    It is nice to run without the pressure of the watch. Good luck in your job search! (By the way, I found my way here via Bill's blog)
