“I’m having an off-week!”

That was my reply to one of my co-workers this morning when he asked me how many miles I ran before work today.

My answer was zero. Zilch. Nada.

He’s a runner too and was concerned. I told him I’ve only run 2 miles this whole week. One on Monday and one on Wednesday. Between the no-sleep, (which is getting better but I’m not caught up yet, Will I ever be? Doubt it) and having a busy week (excuses, excuses) I’ve chosen sleep over running. And I’m ok with that. I think I need it.

But I know that tomorrow when I run 7 miles (because I want to, Its a doable number, and a route I love) its going to suck. Big time. But thats okay, I can’t let that stop me from running. We all know how that story ends.

Tonight I work at my PT Job, then I plan to run and perhaps ride my bike on Saturday and Sunday. I NEED to do it. My body is achy, like it knows I haven’t moved it in too long.

I hope this off-week ends soon. I can’t take the feelings of guilt!!

Happy Friday Friends!
