Notes
It was 45 degrees and raining today, and the outside was certainly not calling me to run. But in this final push to the end of the semester there is so much school going on that running is an absolutely necessary break over the course of the day. I can tell immediately when I get home that my outlook is more positive and life is generally more happy.
I should probably be running slightly less than I am right now if I'm calling it time truly away from training, but at least for the time being my mental health is winning out over my body's reluctancy to train after a long training block.
But my thought is hopefully as long as all my runs are easy, which they are, I'll still get the desired effect and feel as though I have a physical and mental break from training. That's the goal at least.
Excited to start skiing in a few weeks when I get home!
