Rest is Training...

Sometimes rest is the best training! Yesterday I ran at noon the Vicksburg park 6 miles. It was 90+ degrees and boy was it tough! I almost overheated and had to walk 2 of the big hills on the second half of the run. I started out trying to keep a 10 minute pace but wound up with an 11:02 pace finishing in 1:06:14. I was so glad I had water back at the car and along the way but boy oh boy was I zapped!

So today I listened to my body and rested instead of ran. Resting is so important and learning to listen to your body is key to going the distance and not getting injured.
