Execution & Reflections:
Last night, I was already plotting time and location for this run — because that’s just how I do. But when I woke up? Stiff as a board, achy as a breaky heart. 🥴
Cue the inner dialogue ping-pong match:
“Should I go?”
“What if it messes with my long run tomorrow?”
“Maybe I’ll feel better later.”
And wouldn’t you know it — I did feel better later. But by then, the wiser part of me had made the call:
Better to rest now and show up strong for Sunday’s 110-minute long run.
I didn’t run today. I trained my judgment instead.
Takeaway Thought:
I’ve come to realize that not everything needs to be labeled a success or a failure. Some workouts simply are. Some runs teach, some runs test. But all of them — including the ones you skip — build the full picture of your fitness journey.
