Okay, its not NO RUN JANUARY... but I decided to take a week off. Just do a week of some mild cross training, maybe some treadmill walking/incline, a couple of kickboxing videos, and a few days of rest.
So here I am and its been 7 days since I ran. WOW, I actually did it! ;-) Anyway, its been stressful... when you hear people say rest days are horrible... sometimes they are. When you are that excited by running, you know you have found your true love. I am that way for sure. That is definitely not to say that that you wont have days where you would rather cut a digit off than run... because LORD, I have those too.
I am actually sore today. My cross training gave me some feel good muscle soreness... I think that is a good thing. I mainly rested though. THAT is definitely important. Sometimes you just have to take a break. Its like your job, can you imagine never ever ever taking a day off? It doesn't make sense, so don't do it with running either.
I think I am going to hit the gym later today and get some miles in. 7 days is enough... I hate long distance relationships. ;-)
