The truth about rest day

What is a rest day? Seat back to watch TV or hang out with friends? Nope, it is running without watches, GPS, mobile phone, timer or whatever that will remind me my pace, time and distance! I just completely remove all those gadget which will push me harder during a rest day.

And this i call the truth rest day!

To skip company dinner for a 23K training tomorrow!

Dear Boss,

Good morning. With refer to above subject, i am regret to tell you that i am not able to attend company dinner tomorrow evening due to a 23K training.

For your information, i am going to participate in Penang Bridge International Marathon which is held on 24-Nov-2012. I am joining the half marathon category. There are just 8 weeks before the race and currently i am at the peak mileage of the schedule (and it is the most important part of the training to strengthen my lactic threshold pace). Absent some of this training maybe not going to deteriorate much of my stamina but it deferentially will make me anxious for few days (and sleepless night just to worry about my weight!)

Therefore, please kindly accept my apologies for not attending the company dinner. TQ!

Best regards
