Complete Rest

Had an overall decent workout today … Got in parts A-D on my own and then got the class in (E and F). I woke up this morning a bit sick and I probably shouldn’t have done this workout… my family has been sick for the last week and I was hoping I wouldn’t get the illness, but I think it has finally caught up with me. I had a PM session planned, but just called it and I am going to let my body rest/recover.

 Easy Aerobic Run 

-Complete ... ran between 4 and 5 miles ... untimed ... it was extremely hot today, but I gave it a go anyway and I felt fine for the first ~3 miles, but I really started dragging toward the end and just stopped and walked somewhere around 4.5 miles. This was supposed to be a recovery run, but definitely a bit higher RPE for me given the heat. Still enjoyed getting this in.
