Instead I am sitting at home, eating spaghetti squash with turkey and spinach and tomato sauce (weird and yet delicious combo) and blogging. Totally the same amount of physical exertion.
This is me being smart. This is me knowing that my body needs a break, as my knee was incredibly sore after my 20 mile run and did not like my attempts at running yesterday.
Remember all those other times I ignored super sore parts of my body and ended up injuring the crap out of myself and having to take several weeks off running? This is my attempt at having that not happen. I'm exceptionally frustrated and hate taking breaks and hate resting when I know I should be running 8 miles. In the long run, I think this will be a better idea though.
I can and will run a marathon in two weeks... right?
Ice packs are my friends.

I'm super proud of you for listening to your body. This will be the difference between finishing the marathon (which you WILL!) and a trip to the hospital.
Also, I'm extremely curious about your squash, turkey, and tomato sauce dinner. Send me your recipe. *hugs*
