Rest is Training

There's comes a time in every runner's training he knows that rest is the next logical step in training. For me, it is the most difficult thing that I've ever had to admit to myself. The question of whether or not another week of increased intensity will be beneficial is an ominous cloud that waits to rain injury upon greedy runners. The only protection that can serve as an umbrella from this storm is patience. Patience Patience Patience! We must all accept that rest is a part of training. Only then will the barrage of question marks that stem from the possibility of pushing the hurt a little more, redlining for another week, will be abolished.

Keeping this in mind, I'm ready for a down week. Train smart guys.
