Resting to gain strength

I have read over and over that in order to train properly you must also rest. Today was stormy early so I thought I might get on the trainer for a bit and possibly clean my drivetrain. I did neither. Shortly before I left work it was sunny and windy and I thought I may be riding after all. However after speaking to Dawn (Mrs. Purdue) I sensed that she needed me around home to help her with some things that frankly I have been putting off.

I had already decided that today would be my rest day. (all the while hoping that this wouldn't hinder the progress I have made thus far)

We settled down for a nice dinner together which I really enjoyed and in a while it got dark and a hard rain cut loose. A fast moving storm moved through so I think I made an ok decision. My body was feeling fatigued today so I am sure it can use some rest.

Tomorrow evening..................more hill repeats!

Later
