Here’s the first announcement of the (running) comeback 2014. Shhh…

 

Four for four and 55?

Four consecutive nights getting eight hours sleep. Months, maybe longer since that’s happened.

Why?

Busy.

What happens with the insidiously slow change in our sleep intake?

Some say we don’t need as much as we age.

Not if we are inactive. But what if our body needs the rest, then what?

Unplanned 55-minute run. About 10 minutes longer than normal.

Felt it at the end. Probably psychological?

It’s obvious by the closed eyes this comes with the territory

Phillies stadium
Never a shortage of interesting places, many are visited before breakfast.

 

Sitting in Philadelphia International airport waiting for a short flight to NYC and eating a slice of pizza for lunch.

Too busy to run this morning (and too tired and too cold).

Too busy to write – until now.

Looking around, it’s obvious by the closed eyes in the boarding area that this comes with the territory.

Figure it out.

We waste all our efforts when we don’t demand a sensible, balanced approach

Scaling adequate rest is the same as scaling motivation – the challenge never goes away.

 

We waste all our efforts when we don’t demand a sensible, balanced approach.

Do not forget rest in your exercise and nutrition efforts.

When we wake up and want to keep sleeping, that’s a sign.

When we wake up and are glad and ready to get started, we are adequately rested.

Hoping you have (or will get to) experienced this phenomenon before you die

First to arrive and last to leave makes running a challenge when traveling

 

Lately, the active (planned) rest days have felt wonderful. No guilt, extra time, and a feeling that less is more.

And to have two active rest days in a row doubles the joy.

Hoping you are experiencing this phenomenon before you die.
