Here’s a Throwback Thursday about excuses. I’ve talked to a lot of people lately who have had that “hoping for rain” thing going on so they could skip a run or other outdoor activity. If I’m hoping for rain (as I was last night), then maybe I need to take a break (as I did last night even though it didn’t in fact rain in time). How about you? Do you feel like you “need an excuse” or do you give yourself permission to take a break when you need it?

I find myself hating the rain because it’s an excuse not to run. I’m back to running with a 3yo in a stroller and getting him soaking wet isn’t a good plan. 🙁
I think that giving yourself permission to rest or have a day off is like giving yourself permission to have fun and enjoy your workouts again. Take a break and come back happier to see them again!
