Rest and recovery are ALSO part of the training game! <br /><br />I'm going to check out the videos you posted (via Lisa and Laura)! <br /><br />I know I'm late catching up with the WRD blogs, but I hope you are having a good new week this week!runlaugheatpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233445490233555647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-9504437244679009752019-11-13T07:29:34.024-05:002019-11-13T07:29:34.024-05:00Yeah, it's hard to tell if the half earned me ...Yeah, it's hard to tell if the half earned me a couple of days of coughing or if it would have happened anyway.

I skip the part where you bounce in the lunge (that's when I put my run on Instagram. haha!!) but otherwise it helps me be slower and more conscious of my form when stretching.

Although it feels odd to not have anything to "train for," I also appreciate the aspect of not "having to run" XX distances on the weekends (for the time-being). The winter weather (even in the middle of November, already) is so iffy, it's a great time to lighten-up on the expectations that a plan would dictate and just go with the flow of things.Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-49941894680493414562019-11-10T16:50:20.804-05:002019-11-10T16:50:20.804-05:00Sounds like a good week.
