Today is my rest day and as much as I love my workouts — there are times when a rest day can’t come soon enough.  I have been fighting off a sore throat for a few days but starting last night, it started to win. I was thinking about going to group training this morning since I will be in SF on Friday but when the alarm went off at 5a — I realized I needed the sleep.

Many of the ladies at boot camp would head to camp even though we aren’t at 100%. We are trained like that and sometimes it’s crazy. We are clearly not feeling well but there is something about us that is a bit irrational.  One day of extra rest isn’t going to completely derail the work I have done – I know this – but yet — off I go. Extra sleep is healthy too!

I want to be healthy for my trip — so when that alarm started it’s annoying wake up call — I let the sleep monster talk me into shutting it off and getting a few more hours of shut eye.
