So today on my plan it says to run 5 miles. To tell you the truth my body is screaming in pain. Sunday’s long run involved a hilly path. Yesterday’s workout was a 30 minute upper body circuit workout. My body is extremely sore. I am mad at myself that I am not running today but I need a rest day to recover my muscles. It still hurts to walk down the stairs.
Ok enough about my complaining.
Pretty Muddy is offering a $20 discount for their Chicago Race on September 7th 2013! The Code is GIRLTIME. The offer is only good until the end of January!
Pretty Muddy is a women’s 5k mud obstacle course. It is filled with mud, different types of obstacles, and is a women oriented race. You can also run or walk the 5k course.
Do you take rest days when your body is really sore? Have you ever done a mud run before?
Definitely take a rest day!
Cool – are you an ambassador for the race? I haven’t done a mud run. Well, I have run in the mud on trails, but not one of these types of races.
Thanks. I feel guilty taking a rest day but I dont want to injure myself. I am pretty sure I am an ambassador for the race. I received an email from a woman asking if could apply to be one of their ambassadors so I did.
Right now in the middle of marathon training, I don’t take many rest days. Maybe two a month. I haven’t done a mud run, but they sound like they could be fun!
Oh wow! I like to take one rest day a week for my body to relax.
