Today I packed my gym bag for a series of mini-workouts before work. Plan was yoga poolside at 5:30 am, core exercises for 30 minutes and then an easy shake out swim. I found that as I laced up my running shoes to head upstairs for core, I got that giddy excited feeling of anticipation and nervousness like a teenager before her first sexual encounter. I wanted to go for a run! But would I be good at it? Would I like it? It's all so new again!
I purposely made a commitment to take 2 weeks off running after the 50 miler to allow my body time to recover and heal. It was such a wonderful feeling to know that at least my mind is ready to get running again! After an hour of yoga and 25 minutes of core, I was reminded of the kind of trauma I inflicted upon myself 10 days ago. But I know that on Sunday when I lace up my trail shoes, I will not be disappointed.

That is awesome that the mind is raring to go. But great move on letting the body catch up. Enjoy the change up in workouts so that you can come back even stronger!
