Vacations are way underrated, in my opinion. Right now, I'm in Seattle with some friends for 4 days. It's nice to just lie on the beach and not have to worry about anything. At first, I was skeptical about not being able to work out for a week, but I've found that taking some time off to let my body recharge has really helped me mentally and physically. Too often I work myself too hard and don't listen to my body when it begins to break down. So, my flight leaves tomorrow and I get to return to the gym rested and ready to go!

Not too bad at all, but enough to get me back on my bike for the rest of the summer.
