Rest day for a stay at home mom, is there really such a thing? If I'm not cleaning or picking up after my daughter, I am doing laundry or cooking. There is no such thing as rest. Days are gone when I worked full time in front of a computer. When I would sit in a chair 8 hours a day and browse the internet and look for good sales. Gone are the days of high heels and work clothes, replaced with comfy flats, knits instead of wovens, t-shirts instead of button downs, capri pants instead of skirts.
So it's my rest day, and what do I do instead? I walked, about 7 miles today. I am fortunate to live close to a really nice mall, and I walked to it twice today :) (Hmmmm fortunate for me, not so fortunate for my hubby!)
How will this affect my 5 mile long run tomorrow. Guess we will see. No treadmill tomorrow, too, it's time to take it outside in the nice weather. Thankfully Chicagoland is cooling down, I was getting pretty tired of the 90-100 degree weather. I did some carb loading. Not too much, just a few bites of angel hair marinara. It's just 5 miles after all.
Have a great weekend!
