Viva Las Legless

Increasing the recent training the past 2 weeks by 30% and lack of sleep hours has caught up to me in returns of lackluster times, efforts and motivation. After Saturday's bike and run, I took Sunday and Monday off completely to hit the 48 hour rest mark. I happen to fly into Las Vegas for work today (Tuesday) and did bring my running shoes. I am going to have to listen to my body today to see if I am ready to resume my efforts. Reading my Runner's World magazine, they recommend doing less volume, but maintain intensity and also mix in some changes in intervals. I find my case of "overtraining" to be mild and more of doing too much in a short time frame with little rest in between. I hope to look at 2012 a little differently and plan for the long haul and to maintain a healthy and balanced workout regimen.
