Today I flew back from Minnesota, which meant that I was up early (4:00 A.M. early).
While I had a great time in Minnesota, the trip out, not sleeping in my own bed, eating a “little” differently, playing with the grand children (they have limitless energy), running in 90+, with high humidity almost every day I was out there and today’s trip back to Maine – finally caught up with me.
YEP NO DOUBT ABOUT IT – I AM BEAT and a little cranky about it. 
Based on how I felt, I decided to end my 28 day accidental running streak and take a well-deserved rest day, I have almost 168 miles this month, so the possibility of going over 200 miles in a month, for the first time since 1986 is pretty decent.
A zero has been logged in the the RunLog and I have a feeling a fairly early bed time is in my future in a few minutes.

You deserve the rest

I hope it is a healthy hobby and remind him to take a day off after running 6 in a row, on the 7th day he too should rest

Hello! I found your blog a few days ago when I started running, and I just wanted to pass on that I find your posts inspirational. I nominated you for the “Inspirational Blog” award.

Keep running (after your rest that is!) because you’re keeping me motivated!

Thank you for the huge compliment and I am very honored that you find my blog inspiring! However, I try to avoid the many Blogger Meme’s that are floating around the blogosphere. Thanks again
