Rest

I have a problem resting. Seriously. And I KNOW that this is going to cause me all sorts of problems, but still, I can't seem to strike a balance. My brain recognizes the biological fact that my body requires rest in order to function properly, and when it comes to running, rest is (supposedly) a necessary part of training. However, when I rest, I FREAK. I feel like I am not doing enough. I took Tuesday off because I didn't have time and then the Election returns started. I only got 5 hours of sleep that night, so yesterday, I was too run down to do anything. Now, I feel like all of my hard work is gone. I plan on running tonight, so hopefully that will make me feel better. I am just so scared that a couple of days of rest will turn into weeks and months...
