Rest and Recovery #7

One thing I have learned from my first week back on the cycle is how important rest and recovery is. Prior to this cycle I just got up, ran for miles and trained. This go around I am much more conscious of my body and how it is responding. This as some persecutive for me on how valuable it is to take care of your body through rest and recovery. Stretching has also become my friend so that I can continue to be flexible and mobile as I progress thorough the cycle. I was able to get a mentee session in yesterday and knock out my requirements after Black Belt class.
