Yesterday I didn't run because I spent most of the day working out in the yard....weed-eating, moving dirt and rocks, etc.  Too tired to even contemplate a run.

Today I'm not running because I'm apathetic.  Oh yes, I could blame it on having to work today or the fact that the fence contractor was here today, but the sad fact is that my mood when I thought of running was dark like the clouds.  I got as far as putting a running shirt on before bailing.  I suppose I'm overdue for some down time anyway and a 2nd "off" week shouldn't hurt too much.

Yard work can be much harder than running!

Thought of you today - I did my heavy yard work yesterday and felt like a 90 yo getting out of bed today. Ouch.

Sometimes your body just needs a little downtime. Take it easy for a while then I'm sure the fire will come back and you'll be ready for the next round of super training and PR's.

Just don't eat too many weeds!
