Fit-to-Fat-to-Fit Blog: Rest day

Today’s Monday. Normally, I’d run at least five miles. But I took it off. In fact, I sinfully slept until 4:50 a.m. ( Ah, the rest.) Why was I so amazingly lazy?

My long run was yesterday.

I ran over 10 miles and my legs feel it today.  (and so do my knees). My heart rate climbed into the 160’s and near 170 by the end of the run, so I was producing more lactic acid (a waste product of anaerobic exercise). My old legs are tired. It’s time to recover.

I’ll be back out there tomorrow morning.
