I took today off. When I asked for the day off a couple weeks ago, I anticipated I would sleep in and then rest throughout the day.
And then today dawned - and it was GORGEOUS! By 10 am the temps were in the mid 70's. Marc and I decided we simply had to take a short bike ride.
Yes, 20 miles. And then? Well it was too nice of a day to waste, so I started working on the flower beds. Weeding, cutting, laying dirt. I can't tell you how good it felt to be outside and sweating!
Late afternoon I did a Yin Yoga session to stretch out my muscles and joints. Then we headed in to pick up our swag bag and race numbers.
Then it was a pasta dinner. Including garlic bread. Oh sweet justification of carb-loading!!!
Foam rolling was next.
Then I got everything ready for tomorrow. I am now relaxing and hoping that a busy today today will translate to a restful night's sleep.
I am not ready, but I am as prepared as I can be...
