It's ok to tweak, it's YOUR life, not ours out here in blogland.<BR/>I find myself tweaking my plans almost daily. I'm beginning to make peace that there's nothing wrong with this. What I feel like doing one day doesn't work for me the next.<BR/>I find walking to be an excellent exercise & I'd keep that up for sure. <BR/>Hope you feel up to par soon.Brightceterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315996303259692721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2579875018848847647.post-10274126144686624362008-07-07T17:28:00.000-07:002008-07-07T17:28:00.000-07:00I vote for a rest.

You run because you love to run, and you will miss it after a few days rest when you are feeling better.<BR/>Give yourself permission to listen to what your body is telling you. It has taken me a while to be able to do that, but I am getting better at it now.

That is what I did at the end of my C25K I went basically 6 days without a run and when I started back I was stronger for it and my shins are better for it. <BR/><BR/>You did a lot starting in to the spring training coming right off doing a lot of running including that 5k and then another stab at a 5K and then if I recall you ran on monday and then started in to the spring training on Tues. It was probably too much too soon and that it never a good thing. <BR/><BR/>Being sore is kind of normal when you change things up but when it is low grade and constant and starts affecting your oomph during a workout you should listen to your body. For me, when it is just normal soreness I feel better after I warm up and when I need a rest I feel no better or worse/weaker. <BR/><BR/>I've read lots of advice on running that say, particularly in the early stages, that you improve, not during the runs but during the rests between them. If you aren't resting enough then you will be burned out and hurt and end up resenting the running because it is too hard on you or worse you will get injured and need to take a lot more than a week off. <BR/><BR/>Take the week. I can hear it in your post that you really truly need it. This isn't a cop out. Let your nervous system recover and during the break, to keep you motivated, focus on food. Learn some new healthy recipes or develop some of your own. Make a fridge full of healthy stuff that you can take out of the freezer on a busy day. <BR/><BR/>Okay... sorry about the long comment. You are doing great and it sounds like you know the difference between an okay sore and a not so good sore you just need the confidence to listen to your body when it talks to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
