My vacation in Colorado is over.  My wife and I began our journey back to Pittsburgh today, and that means I will probably not workout for a few days.

We are taking a slightly longer route home, in order to go visit some places we have always wanted to see. This afternoon we visited Mount Rushmore.  This was a seven hour drive, so by the time we had toured the monument, I was too tired to go for a run.  We just ate dinner and went back to our hotel room.

In days gone by, I would struggle to accept that I could not workout.  These days however, I realize that a few days off, really doesn’t hurt. In fact, it can sometimes help.

Who knows if I will get time to run tomorrow.  We are planning an early start, so if I do run, it will be tomorrow evening.  By then however, I might just feel like I did today.  If that happens, so be it.  Missing a few days of working out is OK.
