Rest day.

My sons had four baseball games collectively, so I will say I really did rest from a physical standpoint, but mentally I felt pretty jazzed up because each game was squeaky close.  By the end of the day, I actually really wanted to run!  But it was too late.  I felt all sort of pent up and antsy.  I don't like my non-running days.  It's like running is my anxiety reliever and when I don't do it, I really don't feel great.

With the fatigue after the long run and the anxiety today it might be a good idea to rest the day after the long run.

It does make a lot of sense to rest the day after my long run. I'm going to try to do that whenever I can, but sometimes I find my schedule on Saturdays is so darn hectic - - so I'd like to use that day to rest - - while I normally prefer to do my long run on Thursdays. This week, I'm going to run long on Thursday and rest on Friday and see how that goes. It makes more sense for certain.
