After a long and busy January in Finland I felt a need to have a day off from training here in Milwaukee to break down and release the stress that I had built. So I did absolutely nothing for the whole day. What it does for me when I sleep long, eat late breakfast and drink morning coffee until one in the afternoon, is that I get really tired and start spacing out for the whole day which is in a way not such a nice feeling when I'm more used to being sharp from the moment I wake up to the moment when I go back to bed. But I can feel that I really needed a day like that. And okay I had a massage in the afternoon so it was not a complete "sit and stare at the wall" -day.
Today I will do couple of tempos in the afternoon. I tried the complete pilates program composed by a friend of mine this morning taking contrast with the constant flow of movement of pilates to the hard painful workouts that I normally do. And I can tell it is worth it for an athlete to learn how to be super relaxed and feel strong at the same time!
