    Ya know you need to sleep in when...

    THe whole week has been kind of "off" and odd for some reason. I don't know if it's the end result of training me patooskies off for our Petit Oppy then the XC race a week later last month..

    Anywho, I wanted to venture to a trail this morning & realized as I arrived at the parking area that...I forgot my bike..

    I can't seem to sleep in anymore nor can i not bike. I've biked once this week, swam 2x's and trainer session yesterday

    Is it ok to take a holiday from biking for a few days? How do i tell myself "yes"...

    Lol!
    Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, and do whatever you want all the time, you could miss it.

    "yes"

    You can allow yourself the rest.

    My DS had a sleep study earlier this week because of her chronic fatigue.

    I think your subconscious was trying to tell you that at the trail.

    +1 what Channlluv said! You ride at a much higher level than I do, but I can't help but to think that a couple days rest will help you to be even stronger for the break.

    YES, you can take a break

    BTW, I will be on the virtual sidelines cheering for you for your two upcoming events - as I am sure we all will be!

    Rest and recovery are part of training, CC. Take a couple of days off.
