i know that they sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy "take a rest day" and "you shouldn't run on consecutive days"
for some reason, i have run 5 days in a row and want to go out and run/jog/walk today too...
okay, only part of me REALLLLLLLLY wants to do this -- that would be my brain.
the other part, my BODY, is saying "oh, Erin, this couch is sooooooo nice. Just hunker down and do some work whilst elevating your legs and slathering up on the icy hot"
technically, i am not in "pain" - but my body knows that "something" is up and is a little stiff.
i'm just afraid that if i don't go out today and at least walk, that it'll be that slippery slope and i won't want to go back out there and do it.
back in june i was kicking ass with walking every day and also doing strength training... every day.
then on july 11 i went to Boston with friends and when I came back (even though we walked a ton there) i just slacked off and didn't work out at all
maybe i'll just walk around the condos a few times - and then go back out run/walk/jogging tomorrow and try to work up to 3 miles.
I'm blaming the nike+ sport thing on this whole predicament now... why? because i am digging "beating" my last workout and also the challenges that i've signed up for on there
i'd planned on maybe hitting up this Reindeer Run 5k in Point Pleasant on sunday, but i think i'll just wait and do the Jingle Bell 5k next saturday in Belmar.
I made a vat of Chicken Dumpling Soup last night (Nana's recipe.) and ate like 20 dumplings... think i'll have some more for breakfast :}
Whatchoosayin'?? (2 yapped)
It is addictive! The first month I had mine, I did 29 miles, then 21 the second, then 23 the third, the fourth my nano broke and had to be repaired and then I fell off the wagon. Thanks for getting me back on :)

It does become an addiction but you are so right. If you don't do ANY walking/running today it very well could turn into the no exercise abyss that sucks you back down. Ride the endorphines out and keep the high going girl, you are on a roll!!
