I'm kind of freaked out about taking a Rest Day today. I know that rest days are a valid (and important) part of any fitness routine, but I've started really feeling results from all this work ts and the notion of *not* sweating on a given day fills me with fear that I'll lose everything I've worked hard for. Silly, right? But I'm exhausted. The intensity of pre-testing work at TKD, while faboo for my fitocracy score, just isn't sustainable over the long term. (Usually, I aim to hit two class sessions per week. Over the past ten days, I've hit...dunno, maybe 93 class sessions. Something like that.)

I'd planned to push through an interval workout during lunchtime today and even brought all my gear for that, but then I got a reminder about a 20th anniversary lunch for a colleague I like a lot. It's even a free lunch! So I'm going to take the hint from the universe, practice making smart choices while eating out, and ease up on myself for today. Some stretching/yoga later will be good for me, and then I'll be set up to feel stronger for tomorrow's belt testing. Yes. I have decided.
