Changed My Mind

I got up this morning, had a bite to eat, hydrated a bit, stretched, put on my running clothes, walked out the the car, opened the door and said "This isn't smart." Both feet were talking loudly to me, the left one on the verge of screaming.

Maybe this is what Coach Brian means when he says "listen to your body".

I will do 40 minutes on the elliptical today to match the 40ish minutes I would have been running. I will not be doing the 11 miles on Saturday and I will do 110 minutes on the elliptical.

Coach Brian gave me a plan that he says will work if I take more time off from running, so that is what I will do.

I am disappointed and sure I am doing the right thing.
