Both of my daughters have been sick, each with something different. I am thankful for a job that allows me to work from home so that I can still take care of them but not miss work. That being said, the past 2 days have worn me out. Tuesday night I had very little sleep and woke up for the gym feeling as if I had been run over by a train. Thursdays have been rest days for me and I set my alarm thinking I would go in today to make up for the missed day. Alarm went off and I still felt pretty rough so I chalked it up to another rest day to recover all the way.
In the back of my mind, I know that an additional day of rest will be better than forcing 4 days in a row just to make up for a missed day. But I still battle mentally with any missed days at all. I am betting that tomorrow will feel better than normal because of the extra recovery time.
It does make me wonder how many of these early mornings I have left in me. It seems that every time my alarm goes off at 3:50a that it gets harder and harder to get up and go work out.
