To run or not to run

[GoGo_JoJo]

All the way home I was trying to decide if I could find some left over energy for a run.

I was really tired all the way home, it had been a straightforward 10 hr work shift, a bit more physical than some perhaps and in the heat of the day.

I got in and got out of my uniform. I sat on the bed and laid back for just a minute.... and slept for nearly an hour.

Decision made. Rest tonight, run after work tomorrow, sometimes you just need to recharge 👍

Yep, sometimes you do. Especially after a long day at work (healthcare, by any chance?). The run will still be there.

Not healthcare, no, trucking. 🚛 I spend more time loading and unloading than most. Pushing/pulling pallets and the curtains on the trailer. Even hauling your own weight in and out of the cab takes it out of you on a busy day. 👍

Whoah, definitely a heavy day then! I do 12 hour days (in healthcare) but not nearly as physical (I used to unload lorries when I worked in the wine trade - but I was a lot younger and didn't have a dodgy back). You deserved some time out.

Healthcare really takes a big toll on the feet. 👍(emotionally top depending on the field)

Back to bed shortly, alarm goes at 4.45! 🤣😁

Ouch! At least mine doesn't go off until 6.20!

Sometimes your body answers for you, good on you for listening to it. Good luck tomorrow.

That was absolutely the right decision my love. Sometimes your body knows best. Not often, but it does happen. Enjoy the break. The runs are still there for you!!

Ooof definitely sounds like the right choice. You obviously needed the rest. Hope you have a bit more energy tomorrow!
