Yesterday was my first day without running since December 30th. I was awfully proud of my streak, ending with 140 consecutive days. I appreciate and respect rest days, but just didn't feel like stopping. The marathon left me a little sore, but on the whole not too bad. One of the things about the streak that was getting tough was keeping it going. I am glad to take a few days off and rest up some. I am already feeling itchy to get back out, but I know my legs are reaping more benefit from not right now. It is wonderful to have found something like running that recharges, exhausts, and ultimately refocuses me. Yesterday I felt a bit fuzzy without that daily hit. Balance though is a beautiful thing.
