I see this saying a lot on blogs and emails, and I think it's fitting for me. At least today.
Since this past spring, I sort of fell into a schedule where Monday is my day off from training. Sometimes a work meeting or travel on another weekday warrants a slight adjustment, but that's pretty easy to do. But recently, I thought I would try to move my day off to Friday; however, I just can't get the hang of it.
Seems that in the middle of a long swim this past Friday I remembered that it was supposed to be my day off. This means that I trained everyday from Aug. 2nd to today. And it probably explains why, during what was supposed to be my 60 mile bike ride this morning, I just pulled over & called it quits. AT. MILE. 8. My body just flat out said "no" - and so I've spent the rest of the day in a weird groggy on/off nap mixed with Olympic watching from the comfort of my couch. (Am I turning into Wiley?? No back injuries...yet.)
Maybe I'll get the swing of taking Fridays off starting this week?? I guess it all depends on whether I feel like a run/bike/swim/weights/core/yoga tomorrow. Work travel this coming Friday may also help "force" the switch.

sometimes it's not meant to be... good for you for listening to your body today!
Too funny...my day off has always been Friday but I think I may switch it to Monday.
Monday is a good off day because folks tend to pile a good chunk of their training into the weekends. And yeah, drink for whining.
