8/17 Monday Rest

Everything in life is better when I have the marathon on my mind - especially rest. Today is my rest day and in training I take rest very seriously. Every Monday I am tempted to play tennis or do a short workout then once I talk some sense into myself I am delighted to have one full day of full rest. Not only does a full rest day help the success of my long run on Tuesdays but I really need it, every week.

Still reeling from music festival, I have piles of laundry containing garments I don't even recognize as my own. I have a pile of thank you notes to write and lots of donations to tally. I have 12 hours of sleep to enjoy and just finished a healthy dinner (with an extra piece of garlic bread). I have had extra water today and want to wake up early for an extra beneficial run tomorrow.

5 and a half weeks to go.
