Need for rest.. way the brain works?

Yesterday was going to be an easy day: 30/40 mins in the pool. However I ended up taking the day off simply because I was not able to find my “pool card”. Not that I need the card to get in (as I can show a photo id/give my name), but I think it was more the sign than anything else…

What is “interresting” is that, while the “pool card” was not where it should have been (i.e. my wallet) it was in a location that was not that uncommon (back pocket of my pair of jeans in the office) but for some reason while I look all over the place @the office & in my car, I never looked there.

Also, while knowing I had 3 big days of trainging ahead of me the last time I used my “pool card”, I wonder if my brain did not influence me to place the card there in advance so that I would take that day off from training…

Oh well, first day completely off in over 4 weeks…

Cheers,
Fred.

First day off in that long? Geez, dude, you need some passive recovery as well as active recovery days. That’s when you’re body builds, not when you breaking it down during hard training.
