I haven’t worked out for 6 days. 

Whew, glad that’s out there.  The first stage of recovery is admitting there’s a problem right?  So I admitted it; I haven’t worked out for 6 days.

At first, it was a conscious decision.  My last workout was on Monday, and I worked my legs a bit too hard through some strength training.  Tuesday, I was sore, but Wednesday I was SORE!  I decided that since I was still in “recovery” from my half, I could take a couple days off.

However, Thursday came and went, and so did Friday and today.  It’s not that I was busy; in fact, I was the opposite.  I’ve had too much time on my hands!  And when that happens, my luxurious free time turns into a black hole of time.  Seriously folks, when you’ve been surfing the web and suddenly you realize that you’ve wasted 3 hours doing nothing, it is time to get off your butt and do something!

So tonight, I wanted to blow off another workout.  Instead, I used all that hot air to blow up my exercise ball that I just bought at Target, and did some of abs and my rehab exercises while watching TV.  While it’s not a 6 mile run, it’s something, right?!
