Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: Rest Day

NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Rest Day

After a really good week last week and a particularly good weekend I decided today would be a rest day. I took Bandit for a walk in the park in the morning to ease my tired and aching muscles and had to take the boys back to school in the afternoon. A little over 5 hours in the car is not good; I made sure I had a bottle of water to keep myself hydrated but driving for that length of time is very tiring.

Tomorrow I have a work-related commitment in the evening which will mean I miss my swim session AGAIN, so will try and get a good run in the morning and maybe some core work as well.
