I went out for a run this AM. The plan 2 x 4 miles in a loop so I could A) run with a client for 4 miles and finish where we started and B) bail if my legs were too sore. So I ended up bailing and came back to an email from my coach putting me on active rest, no running for 4 days.

So. I had set my mind to getting this high mileage week done. This is the first time I can remember that I have not finished doing something I set my mind to. It's not sitting well with me. Even though I know it's the right decision, I know that my structure is starting to suffer and I know that it wasn't for lack of will. But I still feel like crying.

I guess this is part of the turning you inside out until you come out the other side a whole different person.

Well, good news is that I get to swim more!!!

Off to spend some quality time with my foam roller and The Stick.
