Well, I really planned on running this morning but let me start listing the excuses of why I am more than likely not going to. I am sore from my class yesterday. I think my triceps are the only thing on me that isn' t sore (cuz I didn't push them too hard), I am tired, I have to make jam with the bushel of peaches my neighbor brought me from Brigham City, I have to go help in my sons class at 11:00, it's house cleaning day since we have football all day tomorrow and I have to get in our little SJ half marathon we are doing early, it's short day so my kids will be home early, HOLY COW-I think maybe I just want to go back to sleep:) Basically I think a rest day from running might serve me and my family well. I'll report back if I feel too guilty and decide to do something.

About 2 minutes after blogging the above, I decided to go bike at the gym. I hurried there and jumped on a stationary bike for 60 minutes. It was nice to not have the impact today and I was able to read my ACE book.

Good training!

I felt the same for all of the same reasons---aside for the jam and for us it is soccer, not football! Way to go anyway, good job!

Have fun tomorrow.

It is always so tempting to take Friday's off - it has been a hard habit for me to break. Nice job getting out today! See you tomorrow!
