A Rare Day When I Don’t Want to Workout

Today, I didn’t want to do anything.

So I didn’t.

No working out. No strength work. No leaving my house.

I managed to do a little bit around the house. That’s about it.

Around 1 pm, I was done. I took a nap. I read a book. I laid around.

It was a mental rest more than physical.

My husband wonders how I get up every day and work out early in the morning.

Part of it is will power. The other part is routine.

Even my will power needs rest.

Today was it.

“Typically, You Take a Day Off After a Competition.”

Do I look typical?

I thought this but didn’t say it when my CrossFit coach said this first thing to me after I showed up Monday morning after my Sunday Competition.

It’s true.  CrossFitters are atypical in general.  Those who compete are insane.  Those who show up the next day to the box are well…you fill in the blank.

Next time I’m told this, my response will be:

Rich Froning never takes a day off.

Enough said.
