No Run Mondays

Strength Training: 45 minutes
Up until about two weeks ago, I was following an excellent running plan from the book
The Daniel’s Running Formula by Dr. Jack Daniels (which I highly recommend). On that programme I was running Monday mornings, about a 6 mile recovery run after my 10 mile Sunday run. While I think the plan was great, I do think that I need to force myself to take at least one day off (which I wasn’t doing much of the summer), so, I’m opting for Mondays. I hope I can stick to it. I think once I get into my marathon training and have more significant Sunday runs of 15+ miles, it’ll be much easier to not run on Mondays.
In other fun news, I began coming down with a cold yesterday afternoon…geeze, maybe running for an hour and a half yesterday through the pounding rain had something to do with that? I hate the humidity here!

Ooooh, sorry about the cold… Not fun.
But taking Mondays off seems like a good plan! (Plus, they might make a great yoga day
