Oh dear, it's a weekend of resting my body. Today I'm already thinking about running, I want to run so bad! I know that resting this weekend is the right thing to do after five days of running (although they weren't extremely long(er) runs). I still know what over-committing to something can do to a body and that's why these days are necessary.
This weekend is for stretching those otherwise tight muscles and tendons. I've always had tight tendons in my legs, I can't even bend over and touch my toes without bending my knees. I also need to stretch my hips flexors, they are feeling a little wound up. So my body won't be running this weekend, but my mind will be thinking about it, taunting me with the idea.
It's a good weekend for stretching and the like anyway, the weather is not being so...subtle. It's cold again, and there are chances of rain, so inside with warmth, a yoga mat, and coffee I shall be. On Monday I do another 3K for my (re)training. Next week is only a four day run week since Friday will be another rest day before the race. All throughout next week I will be searching for another race in the 10K region, it would be great to find something in June since I will be gone all of May.
Well that's this weekend and a little of what I'm planning for in the future. I'll be going for a nice stretch now!
Rest/Run well this weekend my friends!
