The past couple of days ended up being "off" days, sadly, not by choice. My last jaunt at the gym was on Wednesday - a quick 5 km plus a full body weight session. Thursday and Friday were pretty packed after work so I was looking forward to a longer run on Saturday. Well, a dinner out on Friday made sure that wasn't happening. Woke up early on Saturday AM and was sick as a dog. Not sure if I ate something bad but it threw my stomach off all weekend. Total loss of appetitive on Saturday left me pretty tired and weak and definitely not up to a run which would burn more calories than I had consumed. Anyways, had a great night out with some friends and played pool for the first time in years and got some rest for today.
I was pretty pumped to have covered 12.5 kms today and also shave off 30 seconds per kilometre. Every movement felt strong, every step was done with ease and every breath was with passion. I finished off with push-ups and planks and felt very satisfied with today's run.
Having a few days off definitely bummed me out, as being away from what you are so passionate about is brutal. But the moment you have it again, makes you feel so alive, so electric, that the wait is worth it.
