Rest day

Well today was my rest day which normally I would walk 2.5k around the park before going into the gym.

This morning however it was so dark when I got to the park that I decided I would walk around the town...6k later I am finally back at the park to enter the gym feeling more exhausted than when I did my w9r2 yesterday

Think I will go a little later on Thursday and stick to my 2.5k walk.

Tomorrow is the big day when hopefully I will graduate

Of course you will! If you're really tired, give yourself an extra day off, but you'll do it.

Rest days!! I had to tell myself what test days are and although I still walk up to 4 times a day morning lunch evening and night most days with my little dog we take it much slower and a more gentile pace much to her relief. Cheering you on from Sheffield the end is in sight. 🎉

Nice… rest days are so badly named… active recovery days are much easier to take!

Have a wonderful graduation run.
