Another Rest Day? Yep!

I am beginning to understand why rest is really important. It may have taken me forever to get it, but I've got it now. Your body get broken down during exercise and lifting and needs time off to repair itself. It's not like that is a hard concept to understand, but when you are truly addicted to the gym, you start to think that you are the exception to the rule. I have been to the doctor 3 times in the last 3 weeks (since I started implementing rest days) and have lost 4-6 pounds each week. I'm floored. I do feel better and I will be beating my body up again tomorrow and knocking out the remainder of these 50 miles for May, but know I will get my rest in there! Make sure you do too!
