"Rest Day"

Wednesdays are considered a "rest day" in my half marathon training schedule. "Rest Day" will continue to be in quotation marks because there is no actual rest on "Rest Days". Instead of doing the logical thing (aka actually resting), on "Rest Days" I am supposed to do any exercise other than running. Well, let's be fair, a few weeks down the road when I'm supposed to run 6 miles, I may actually use a rest day as a day of rest, but I'm not convinced that I should be resting from any exercise at this point in time.


Today, I chose to use an elliptical machine at the YMCA, and I feel that it is important to revisit some of my gym rules. 

• Please try and remember to bathe and/or use deodorant regularly. This should cut down on the outrageous odor you exude when you choose to pick the machine directly next to mine when we are the only two people in the gym.
• Brush.Your.Teeth. Preferably before you ever leave the house. I should be breathing through my mouth because of my exertion, not because I want to avoid smelling any part of your swamp-gas-breath.

Oh, and by the way. Weight: 249.8 

Until Tomorrow,
