Flexibility in a messy world

Celebrating, er, creativity in Catford

Day 315
Monday rest day, with stretching/yogamat/walking only

That sounds so neat and simple. The rest day should be about recharging, ready for the Tuesday circuits with Erik and a track session, sitting down at my desk and planning serious training around the working week. yet I am not fitting this bill. Meeting a deadline this morning, while my body ached and responded to whatever virus, hormonal haitus, stress-related malady is causing the stomach pain and bloating, sore throat, swollen eye and achey, achey hips, was hard enough. When work is scarce, then bits of it come all in one rush, all to be done in the same few days, while training commitments and the schedule on the fridge press on your conscience, that's when you feel it's all spiralling out of control. Resting seems impossible, but the fear of fatigue haunts you, because you know the only way to mend is through quality sleep.
