Rest Day

Rest days are something you really need to stick to during your training. I know, why rest when you feel great and you know you can  run 10 miles, bike 50 mile or swim 1 mile today. But getting plenty of rest is important to your training. As you progress in your training your body will need time to adjust to the new demands being put on it to perform. Rest also helps with the soreness that usually starts to show up. Trust me, my body was hurting from my first swim on Sunday Night! So today I kept off my feet as much as possible. Hard to do when your job is security but I did. Drank enough water  and eat much better. Time for Sleep because tomorrow it's back to the grind!
