Today, I woke up feeling like a cold is on the horizon. I’m desperately hoping this isn’t the case because we travel to Chicago tomorrow for our annual family Thanksgiving trip. The most challenging part of rest and recovery is sitting still and letting my body do its job. I like to be in motion, and some parts of me say to fight despite all circumstances. It’s a mental battle. Push my body to keep up with me or succumb to what it’s suggesting.

Then there’s the side of me that says, what does it matter? It’s all mental - just go!
