Day 4 - Recovery

Today's the one day during the training/work-out week that I don't run, don't do yoga, don't do anything except for some stretches.

It's a recovery day, a day to let the muscles rest and rebuild, recover and restructure.

And the timing ended up being good, since I woke up a bit under the weather, so I suppose more than muscles needed the rest.

Breakfast was really just lots of juice (cran/pomengranate - what can I say? It's a "thing") and lunch was roast pork and rice. Dinner was chicken, just chicken. White meat, a little salt, a little lemon, and sauteed with olive oil. Easy, quick, tasty. Besides, I like the occasional pure protein meal.

So rest I did...and all I could think of every time I glanced at the grey, misty day outside my window, was how much I wanted to go out and run in that, in the park, through the grass and the trees, over the bridge and the lake.

I don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow (and there's rehearsal scheduled for the evening), but I do know this: no matter what the weather, wind or rain, sun or shower, I will run. And I'm actually looking forward to it.
