I couldn't do it today(running related)

I've been doing about 2 miles every other day but tonight I could not muster up the energy. I was kinda beating myself up over it....I was wondering how you handle your days when your legs just don't want to move. Does this happen to you?

Re: I couldn't do it today(running related)

There are days when I can't move or am totally wiped. I just take them off and pick it back up the next day. Sometimes, your body just needs a break.

Tomorrow is a new day

Its okay to take a few rest days when you feel that way. Usually when that happens and I take a day or two off I feel stronger when I come back

I try to just walk then and figure it's better than nothing.

Sometimes your body just needs a little break. There's been times when I've started running and felt just like you described, and on the flip side, there's also been times when I get started and have an unusual amount of energy and can do more than I expect... just do what you can and try again the next time!

sometimes you just need a break - resting the body is just as important as working it out. and i also remind myself that not everyday will be a rockin' run or workout day. sometimes other factors get in the way and i need to be cool with them just the same as i'm cool with an awesome workout /run day.
