Mind: "You did run on Wednesday, longer than you have ever run and TNT said it was rest or cross training day."
Body: "And we did do a hard pilates session yesterday..."
Mind: "But what if I slip and slack and give up by resting?"
Body: "Gotta do 5 miles tomorrow, please rest."
Mind: "Fine, no workout today but I am going to obsess about it all day until I run tomorrow."
Body: "Whatev."
The internal dialog that I will probably always have with myself rests largely in the right to not do everything to the nth degree. Cut myself slack without slacking. Yes TNT has today as a rest day, but every other rest day I have done core fusion or pilates or even gone for a run. I am not sure why but I have not yet developed the confidence to rest without thinking that I am going to just stop running. It is illogical but powerful. I'll get there but man, it is quite a nagging voice.
Body: "Thank you, by the way."
