It’s Hard Standing Still
I’m on a recovery week, but with Wisconsin right around the corner I feel like I shouldn’t have any free time. I realize that the body makes all its gains while its resting and without resting, all the hard work that you put in never gets a chance to manifest itself. But man is it hard for me to sit still assuming that my body is repairing itself in the background and growing strong. It’s hard to think that it’s getting better by just standing still.
It’s times like these that I come to appreciate my training log. It reminds me that just eight days ago, I rode a long 112 miles in a seven hour training day. And just last weekend that I ran 15 miles - my longest run this season. But those workouts seem like they happened ages ago. I’m resisting the temptation to go crush some long workouts this week, but I never thought relaxing would be so hard. My body must be on endorphin withdrawal?
