a day off

While I spend some time exercising on most days I know the importance of taking rest days; I usually manage a day off every week or so. I realized on Saturday that my last rest day was a good 2 1/2 weeks in the past, yikes! That triggered a plan for a rest on Sunday.

That almost worked. I didn't go for an exercise walk but I did go for a walk on the beach before volunteering at Parker River. That non-exercise walk turned out to be close to a 3-mile walk. In hindsight, that wasn't a rest day! When I woke up this morning without my usual energy I realized that my Sunday rest day wasn't one. I took a day off today, resting, reading, visiting flowers in a greenhouse.

I feel reenergized!
