Hi this is karene

is karene. Hi this is katey from Washington DC and you're left to know me

athlete radio. Matt I am on day 10 of not running.

Oh yeah.

Yes, my life is break in a long time.

Did I convince you that the dark side is better?

No, no, you didn't. You don't convince me much.

No, you know, I just,, you rock after the 100K, 10 days ago, I decided I really needed a break.

I needed, like more so mentally, I think physically but also physically and I just

it's been good to step back. Yeah that's good. Do you have like a reentry plan or is it just

just a way do you feel like it?

I told myself at least two weeks at the end of this week and then I might do something

but you know then I dusted off the bike from from the winter.

I'm ready to go for some rides this weekend when it stops raining and do a little yoga and I don't know.

Just not running. There you it is it like is it difficult

because I know some people when they like taper time people people get antsy and

they want to run is it like that or you just sort of you're just happy to not be?

I haven't, you know, I have not longed to run at all, but I have definitely been getting

antsy about just being active and I've, you know, I've gone on a few hikes and walks and stuff like that so I'm getting

outside but no I haven't really had this like urge to run but I am starting to have a little

bit of an urge to set another big goal. So that's good.

I think that's kind of the first thing that comes for me anyway,
