You know that song about "one" being the loneliest number? Not today, and not about this! ONE MORE RUN 'TIL A BREAK!!I'm sure it seems I'm more excited about this week off than I usually am. It's actually not so much that I'm excited as I am relieved. It's like this -- When I take a week off post-Half Marathon, there has been a huge build up both in terms of miles and anticipation. So, by the time I take that break, I spend half of it coming down from the post-Half high.
On the flip side, when I take a week off in the middle of "nothing," it's because I'm just spent. The miles have mostly been for maintenance, and running for that purpose is a different kind of wear and tear both physically and mentally. Hence: I'm MUCH more excited to take one off for the purpose of a break rather than for recovery!
So, there you have it -- the reason behind the relieved excitement! It's great timing and is just what I need to regroup and start being strategic to get ready for October's Half! Enjoy the rest of your day, and I'll see you after the morning (Just One) Run!
