Today was supposed to be a cross-training day – either on the bike or the rowing machine – but I ended up opting for a rest day instead. It meant tweaking my schedule a bit, but I was completely exhausted and knew that pushing through wouldn’t do me any favors. Sometimes, the smartest thing you can do for progress is listen to your body and give it the recovery it needs.

“That’s how a bear can rest at ease! – Here’s some bare necessities!”
