Rest day (perhaps)

After 2 hard training sessions at the weekend today is a rest day.  We attended a wedding last night so a few beers were had and I intended to get up early, go for a run and pick up our car.  I did get up early and decided is was such a glorious day I'd walk rather than run.  I'm so glad I did because within 1 mile of my house I had noticed so many things that I had missed as I either drove, cycled or ran past.  It made me think that perhaps slowing down isn't such a bad idea and take on what's happening around you.
That theme continued as I walked to my car with my bag stuffed full of work that I'd brought home and never looked at.  Do you do that?  It's a habit that's crept back in for me but one I am going to stop.  As I was walking across the yard I though why have 2 x 30 min car journey when I have everything I need with me and my alternative office is 10 yards away looking onto a lovely garden on this sunny day?  So here I am and it will be a most productive day.
As for the rest, tomorrow's forecast is for rain so I might go out on the bike tonight and rest tomorrow.  Let's see how the day goes but so far it's been a very relaxing start.
