Felt like the body needed and extra rest today so I took the day off. As much as I really hate to take a day off, I think it is probably the smart thing to do. I was just feeling too much fatigue and my experience in the past has been that running on too much fatigue will lead me right down the road to injury. So I plan to do my long run tomorrow but it may not be as long as I had planned depending on how I feel.

Rest is good! Smart to listen to your body and be flexible with your training!

I have been reading "brain training for runners" It really advocates resting when your body feels the need. You are doing the right thing.

Sounds like we're in the same boat, Jeff. I'm scheduled for 18 miles tomorrow, but with the way my legs feel today, I'm having my doubts about getting that many miles done.
