the energizer bunny is broken

my horoscope for today:
you may be in crash-and-burn mode right now, because you really want to accomplish a task by a certain date. hopefully, though, you realize that by rushing things you could be increasing your room for error and exhausting yourself to the point where you won't be at your best...

it's finally beautiful outside and i'm home sick... lame. i've been fighting it off for a while. my body has been feeling achy since sunday and i've been tired. really tired. my training has been going well and i figured i could work through it. i still haven't logged enough weekly miles and i have 24 days til kauai. i had a really good run tuesday morning. i had a great class tuesday night. i took a rest day on wednesday. i made sure i ate every 3-4 hours, other than saturday's reunion, i haven't had any alcohol, etc... i've been a good girl.

the one thing i forgot was, that if you don't let your body recover, you get sick. this morning i just couldn't rally. i didn't go to track practice. i didn't go to work. i'm not teaching class tonight.

what i didn't factor in is that i'm working out more with the same amount of work to be done (if not more). same obligations. same life issues to deal with. something has to give. i need to make a better effort to take care of myself... rest and recovery is hard for me. i get restless just sitting on the couch, but even the energizer bunny has to take time to recharge.

rest on friday.
8 miles on saturday... maybe.
