My other half is doing a 5km run around Battersea Park in this heat with her work today, not envying her one but while I laze around I'm my rest day in a deep eucalyptus salt bath with a Hagen Dahs in the freezer for an encore πŸ˜‚

...embrace those rest days folks! πŸ™‚

I'm the same though. Wake up on a run day and think 'oh good I'm running today' Wake up on a rest day and think 'ha I ran yesterday'...and feel smug..

Its a win win situation.😊

Enjoy your πŸ›and🍦x

I'm a bit addicted to ice cream. Marshfield every time.
