My running week (well not really)

Hi all,

My running week didn't contain any running! I had decided to take a week off. I have cycled to work this week instead. I have run for the last 18 months with only a couple of short breaks because of illness so thought after all my hard training for my triathlons that I would have a bit of a holiday. I found that strangely I have missed it! I never thought that would ever go through my head as I have always thought of running as a chore, that was before I could actually do it. So back to the 3 sessions next week with a nice gentle couple of weeks and then a winter training program that will be fairly hard work I think. I hope that you all are well and enjoying the sunshine (if you have it in your area).

Stay injury/sick free and keep on running.

All the elite runners apparently have rest periods too so you're amongst the pros Mat! I'm sure the rest will do you the power of good.
