Deload week started early. Like, horizontally.
Today was one of those days where the 5k didn’t stand a chance. So I’m moving it (or even skipping it altogether, because… life as a shift worker 🙃). Long run at sunrise, night shift after, and tonight Toby and Kevin are running a very strict recovery protocol. Protocol is mostly snoring.
33 days until the Niagara Falls half and I’m choosing snuggles. Bold? Yes. Correct? Also yes.
Training plans are guidelines. Sleep is non-negotiable. Especially when your shift schedule already treats your circadian rhythm like a suggestion.
Rest days you choose > rest days that choose you. Today, it was the latter.
