you think this far along in the program we can still have those "character building days" ha, if so this was my day, 1st time in while, i could just barely put one foot in front of the other all day long.work was terrible, and it went down hill from there, went to walk but 1 mile was all i could do, home now, going to do some house stuff, and just cool it, maybe its just my bodys way of telling me i need some rest,, probably so, and mark says we have to listen to our body, but heavens i feel so guilty about not doing it,,
hope you all have had a better day than me, tomorrow ill be about to my 100% speed,,
later all

You amaze me! It is probably your body crying out after all you did on Saturday! Give yourself a break. I am striving to get to your level.
I want to thank you for your attitude and energy. It really is contagious!
Having a slow day or two won't effect the rest of your training--Mark has said that we are capable of doing 3 times the distance that we've trained for, so I guess we could go out and run 24 miles tomorrow without hesitation. HA! Don't think I would want to try that out but I believe we can do more than we think we can. I had a slow day today too (just ran 2 miles) but there is plenty of time to work hard. Hope tomorrow is better for you. Bonnie
Monday is always my hardest day. I wogged for 55 min. but the rest of the day was a total slug. Saturday wipes me out but I think the adrenalin keeps me going until the Monday letdown.
You did a whole lot Saturday after your run so I can imagine you are worn out!
Today will be better.

Hi Vickie:
Sounds like we're all trying to get our "character building" in this week. My knee has been talking back to me and I've just had to slow it down. I got out yesterday for the first time since Saturday and still had too much pain. Back to to the ice,alleve,stretch circuit.

I can relate! It takes me AT LEAST 3 days to recover from our Saturdays. I had a poor excuse of a workout on Sunday and Monday I did no training at all, except for the lifting of kitchen utensils to and from my mouth all day. Don't sweat it. You deserve a down day. Don't beat yourself up! Just look at how far you've come...
