Yesterday was definitely one of those days for me. With the start of the NCAA Tournament, when the eight early games finished, I had planned on going downstairs for a treadmill run. It was a pain dragging myself out to do that. It was a nice day out so I wanted to do an outside run, but I had work responsibilities so a treadmill run was the more logical choice. But man, I really didn't want to go. Thankfully my wife wanted to go down to use the elliptical, so we went together and I got in a few miles. Nothing big, but got the heart going and that was enough for the day.

If there’s one thing I appreciate, it’s the combination of terrible weather and being sick for a rest day. Forced days like this one are few and far between but feel right when they happen. Often I’ll run sick. I shouldn’t but it’s like you said, “maybe it’ll make me feel better” is what my head tells me. When the weather is bad, I usually don’t care, unless it involves sheets of ice or a lot of lightning. Those are no fly zones. But when I’m sick AND weather is garbage…I stay in bed and relish the rest. As someone with anxiety who rarely sits and does nothing, the combination sometimes is welcome. (Even though nobody ever WANTS to be sick)
