Lesson learned - Rest day means REST (See June 9th for Photos)
Oh I felt sooooo good this morning after my 20 mile mammoth run yesterday.
Legs felt good, really strong and overall I felt well rested.
As it was a sunny day I convinced the other half to take me out for a stroll around the Loch with the camera to take a few photos of the birds building their nests.
I did have a lovely time of it - saw a few moorhens, coots, great crested grebes and fed the swans (wholewheat bread as white apparantly gives them rickets). I posted photos from this visit on June 9th's blog entry.
After that we went to watch Wigan RL play against Salford City Reds - the first game with new coach Ian Millward. Finally there was a win for Wigan - 20-34 but it was a close shave of a match and was one of the most exciting I've seen for a while.
I still felt good after that so agreed to go out for another walk - still feeling strong.
After dinner however it all hit me like a lead balloon - I am shattered, completely exhausted. I couldn't get up off the sofa without a great deal of effort. I'm now off to bed to recover, cursing myself for failing to follow the rules - rest means rest!!! But I felt so good - deceptively so obviously.
Next Monday I really will rest up - it's my first day back at work anyway so I have no choice but to wade through emails and make phone calls all day.
