I missed my first workout yesterday. I don't care. I actually made a conscious decision to listen to my body and take an extra day of rest. You see, I am not a runner. I hope that's something that has become abundantly clear. Even though I am not a runner, I am running 3 times a week right now. Saturday I was scheduled for a 1 hour run. It was cold and rainy. I ran anyway and turned in a personal best. Keep in mind, that means 10:24 miles. Its still good for me.
Then the Halloween festivities began.
My wife and I have always loved Halloween and our girls do too. This year our neighbor had a party before trick-or-treating. I partook in the eating and drinking. Then we took the girls trick-or-treating. Then we sat by the fire pit, which, includes more eating and drinking.
So yesterday I was tired, and slow, and my hips actually hurt from the morning running and afternoon walking. I was supposed to swim yesterday, but decided I needed the rest. I thought I would feel bad, but to be really honest, I feel good about it. I've not missed a workout since I took on this challenge, and yesterday seemed justified.
Today is the scheduled rest day. I am already looking forward to tomorrows run.
