Second Day Down

A friend of mine just came back from training camp. Training camps are supposed to be hard core and I am sure it was. The only thing I heard from her though is "I hope the weather is nice so I can chill outdoors". How convenient it must be to be able to plan rest and stress? Unfortunately I have little experience with that. I can handle stress, I never negotiate with my coach about easier training and I can push beyond pain. However when MY body needs rest, it just takes it. There is no such thing as "I will go on for 1-2 more days". It simply crashes. Tomorrow is Good Friday, the pools and the gym sare closed. Which means REST. And I was looking forward to that day for two weeks now. It was supposed to be THE planned rest day... Unfortunately my body and I have different opinions about that, again... and I never seem to win that fight.
