Rest days are honestly hard! Especially when you've slugged through an Iowa winter that seems twice as bad as the last one and the one before that too! Once its finally nice out there its hard to be told on a no- wind, cloudless
day, take it easy, rest, go get a massage in a cool dark room.
That's the agenda for tomorrow however and I've learned to look ahead and not behind! The three days following rest are reason enough to take it seriously. Some serious hours on the bike, some pretty serious running after that and then a more serious brick. What do other people do on a three day weekend?
I'm hoping the grass doesn't grow, the dog doesn't need walking, and there are no emergencies that need attention at work.
There is that issue of the book promised June 1 or around there. I'm leaning toward around there right now. There's that issue of payroll being due real soon after the weekend is over. There's that issue of the floor being cause for additional allergies.
None of that is too bad- I can lay around and work on some of those things. There's no gas in the grill for the three day weekend. Now that is a problem.
Got a rest day in your calendar? Schedule it, just like you would a work hard day- its when the progress is made, or at the least the groundwork for the progress. Enjoy it- in the middle of that 4 hour ride you'll be glad you did! (even if yous is only one or two)
