Active Rest Off Day. Two Mile Walk

Today was supposed to be a speed work day. 

I went to bed last night knowing that the morning run might not happen. I have been dealing with some allergies that have gotten pretty bad. 

We are renovating our house and had to move into the chaos before it was really done. While doing some unpacking and cleaning I got either sawdust or drywall pieces in my eye. They have been red and burn on and off all day, but are worse in the morning and at night. 

When I woke up my eyes were closed shut by crust from the night. Almost like pink eye symptoms. 

I decided I should probably take the morning off and see how my eyes were throughout the day. They started to get better after I put some cream and drops in. I was ready to get my speed work in around 4ish. Mother Nature had other plans and rolling storms with thunder and lighting kept me from getting the workout in. 

I decided to push my entire training plan back a day and just have today as my off day. I actually kind of like having a mid-week day off. I am going to get through this whole week and might make the Wednesday day off a new thing!

We did keep things active and went for a two mile walk. It would have been longer, but mom fail, I forgot the snack and drinks and we had to turn around. 

We spent the rest of the day playing and swimming!
