Sometimes hard to get your head around it. But that is what I am going to do.<br /><br />Patrick: I will try. But today is another rest day filled with lots of fluids to help flush out whatever is in this body.<br /><br />misszippy: I am definitely not my usual self. Still feel flat and weak after a massive sleep. Rest is all I will do till I feel better.Barbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833073049586917325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604739527259244616.post-7311445988809119272011-03-25T00:21:06.448+11:002011-03-25T00:21:06.448+11:00Barbie--I hate hearing you like this, you who is a...Barbie--I hate hearing you like this, you who is always so upbeat! I would suggest taking a few days off, just rest. You won't lose ANY fitness and it will hopefully recharge your batteries, both mentally and physically. Good luck.misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604739527259244616.post-44534932372626049432011-03-24T21:28:10.780+11:002011-03-24T21:28:10.780+11:00This just something you have to get through.

Try some easy workouts, leave all your watches and data recording devices at home and just get out there, but most importantly take it easy.

Even the most super elite athlete in the world has days like this. Do the math - you've done so much in the last year for a day (or 2 or 3) to have any real impact on your ability.<br /><br />All will be fine.Patrick Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181637044657605057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604739527259244616.post-3762770240866383692011-03-24T14:55:32.271+11:002011-03-24T14:55:32.271+11:00I always yell out at myself..."It's all i...I always yell out at myself..."It's all in my head"...when I feel I cannot go a step further.<br />But I truly believe there ARE moments when we have to step back and realize we aren't superheros. Are bodies are incredible and can do unthinkable things...but there do come times where we need rest.<br />Maybe you've reached a point where you need to rest- not only your body, but your head.<br /><br />Enough preaching. Sorry.<br />You work incredibly hard. If I lived nearby I would kidnap you for a few days and all we would do would be eat, drink, and dance:)<br />And not think of racing, training, goals....<br /><br />hugsDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040738593336836064noreply@blogger.com
