I had a great run on Sunday, and all day yesterday, felt like someone had beaten me about the neck and shoulders with a shovel. I popped 2 Motrin before bed and took it veeeery easy on today's run. I definitely needed a full rest day yesterday, though! Why do I always blog in your comments? Sorry! First of all, let me say that my “long” run is only 12 miles.

I agree that a light jog can be a good thing to flush the junk out. Allowing your muscles to recover is important too so sleeping or slouching is good. You can't let yourself get run down and sick. Tequila has its value too since it can kill any germs, goes great with that salt replenishment you need and will put you to sleep. I went to work and had a gin and tonic when I came home. Now I am blogging for cross training. It’s too late to influence your decision since it’s night time but you can’t lose with the advice above.

If you feel like an easy run...then run. If your body is calling for tequila, then opt for a light biceps workout hoisting the glass. Lots of repeats ;) Listen to what your body tells you.

So if you ran Sunday evening leave it until Tuesday morning. If you ran Sunday morning leave it until Monday evening. Don't forget you will need to replace salt .... and perhaps a little lemon.
