Some Days I Just Need to Rest

I don't know about all of you, but I tend to go stir crazy on rest days.  I know that it is just as important to rest and recover as it is to workout, but it is hard for me to do.  I feel as if I have been resting for the last 30 years so I need to make up for it with workouts all the time.

So instead of a workout I am doing my meal planning.  I am planning on Crab Bisque and Tuna stuffed Deviled Eggs for my lunches next week.  (I added the Crab Bisque recipe to the FOOD! tab)  I also took a bath in Epsom salts to help relax and recover my muscles.

Tomorrow I will be running and trying out Yoga.  I am hoping that if I incorporate Yoga into my workouts it will help me with focus and flexibility.  I am now 80 miles into my 300 mile race.  I am not quite on the target that I hoped to be, but it is helping me focus on my milage and goals.  This is good experience for me as a beginner runner to focus on increasing milage and tracking progress.
