Sunday Summary: I'm still here

Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, 

your body, your mind, your spirit. 

Then get back to work.

This post will not be about how fantastic my running schedule has been, because it hasn't. I was supposed to do a trail half yesterday and wussed out. I would have loved running in the mud in the rain, but really had to make a decision about how much I wanted to torture myself. After my last half a couple weeks ago I did a Krav Maga workout next day, then ran the day after that and realized I needed to recoup. What I didn't realize is that sitting on my A$$ everyday wasn't the best effort. I needed to be stretching and staying limber. So I went back to Krav Maga this past week and over did it. My right calf I think has a pulled muscle. I skipped the half yesterday in favor of a torture session deep tissue massage afterword I felt completely battered refreshed. I have signed up for two more sessions over the next 3 weeks so I can get back on track. It's time for me to rest, because I will soon need to be back to work with my fitness, life and work goals. Stay tuned for a revised plan of attack in said areas.

Here is how I have been spending my time: Eating junk food, buying way too many girl scout cookies, hanging with my cousins at the Lodi Spring Wine Show, enjoying a night out with the girls at the wine show, eating cheese, bread, gourment basil olive oil from Coldani, Ripken Tempranillo and of course GS cookies post wine show and trying to get back on track by hitting the farmers market this morning with my Bug.
