Las Vegas RnR Training - Day 5

Friday is a rest day.  Although at times I have cross-trained or did weights on Fridays when I was training for BBM I plan to just enjoy the day today.  As I predicted yesterday the soreness is much less … I was thinking on my way to work that today would be a great day for a massage to help out my calves so I may look into that for later. 

Either way I woke up fuller of energy today more than any other day since I completed BBM.  I feel great.  Maybe because it’s Friday lol … For the first time since in a couple of weeks I don’t feel like I am running around like a chicken with it’s head cut-off.  I feel I have a purpose again.  Regardless of the questions and doubts I may be having about completing Las Vegas RnR in under 4:30 I have registered for it so I will run it.  The question really becomes I am ready to give it my best shot.  I am.  I think writing day by day about my training has helped re-focus me as well.  Even if I am not out there running 20 miles for now I am back in training in full swing.  Each action I take has a purpose, an expected outcome.  Predicting these outcomes is part of experimenting, learning about my body, blowing through my limits.

So thank you Humboldtcindie for your words of encouragements.  Thank you SGF for your words of reasons.  Thank you Michelle for going to the Y with me yesterday.
