Full rest day…at last!
Finished my arm and ab workout a little bit ago. As I sit here evaluating how I thought I did, the one thought that entered my mind was thank God tomorrow is a full rest day. My mind and body is tired. It’s been or seemed to be a long week. There was a time and sometimes still is when I feel just a little modicum of guilt for thinking that. Beside the usual reasons for having a full rest day…at least from a physical standpoint…overtraining, risk of injury, etc. one may need a break emotionally as well, at least I do. I guess what I’m trying to articulate here and not doing a very good job of it is…because I’m happy that tomorrow is a rest day that doesn’t mean in any way that I don’t relish being down in my gym…but simply means that I enjoy my rest days for what they are and I should not for any reason live with a guilty conscience. After all, the good Lord rested after a hard week of work…good enough for me!
