Day 50 - Rest

"What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." - Henry David Thoreau

Miles Ran: 153.56 Dollars Raised: $866.20

Did it seriously take me an entire 24 hours to recuperate from that run!? Apparently.

It just completely drained me. Between the run and the reality that my life goes back to "normal" tomorrow, I was a total slug all weekend. Almost everything I accomplished could be done from the comfort of my bed, or at least in pajamas. I managed to do a lot of cleaning and reading though, so that was nice.

This break has been refreshing for many reasons, but looking back it was so nice to just run whenever I wanted, in the daylight, with my new watch and new kicks... It was just very ideal. If it decides to snow this week, I have no control over when I can and can't run to avoid or hit it at the right time. I've been very lucky so far in training with the weather conditions, but I think this past week was definitely an introduction to what kind of a challenging roads lie ahead for the next few months...and it ain't gonna get easier.
