Knowing when to rest

Had a hard work out indoors the other day, I was suppose to train today but feel really cooked from that work out so I am taking an extra day of recover. I have worked hard the last few weeks and I am going to listen to my body even though my ego says get out on the bike. I did do some stretching but that is it. Your body actually rewards you for a little bit of abuse (breaking it down through training) and then it comes back stronger. But, if you beat it to severely it will let you down every time. Plus at this point I don't think I could do the hard work out I have hard enough to benefit, so why waste the effort.

Sunday is the Robeson race, its a local race and I am using it as a tune up for the Tour of the Catskills and I am really looking forward to the race, I haven't raced in about a month. Well, its off to bed for some rest then a hard training day tomorrow.
