Runners and endurance athletes are generally obsessive compulsives. If we take off a day, we feel like we've lost 30 days of training. Even though we know that, in actuality, we're probably improving our fitness level by taking a day off – our gut is screaming that we need to go for a run or bike ride. When I'm focused on a goal (like training for a marathon or triathlon) and I can't workout, I can get down right gloomy. Just ask my wife.
So yesterday I had to take a day off (work got in the way) and it about drove me up the wall. I've been on a roll for the past few weeks but I am just certain that my day off will completely derail my momentum. We'll see tonight if I can get back out there and go for a run.
