I can\u2019t lie to you all\u2026.I had a fantastic time basking in the sun. The food on board the ship was outstanding and cakes were part of my daily routine -many cakes actually! And lots and lots of all kinds of different foods!<\/p>\n<p>I did manage a cheeky run on the treadmill during the first week on board (partly due to guilt and partly habit), but then \u00a0i decided to put my feet up and taking the entire week off\u2026eeek!But during that week, I really got into my rest, my food and put running to the back of my mind! And it just reiterated in me the fact that a mid-season break can be a very good thing.\u00a0 Not only does it let your body heal and get some much needed rest, it also allows your mind to rest. \u00a0Plus, it allows you to put on about 4-5 lbs, something I don&#8217;t regret it one bit \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3854\" src=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/cakes-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/cakes-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/cakes-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/cakes-48x36.jpg 48w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/cakes.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Treating ourselves from time to time is key and that&#8217;s what holidays are for! I knew as soon as I got home my running would whip me back into shape!<\/p>\n<p>It is so important to enjoy running and the training that goes with it, but don&#8217;t let it take over your life! A short break can do you good, and will allow you to come back more refreshed, focused and motivated\u2026. And don&#8217;t worry&#8230;.. any extra pounds gained will soon drop off as you start your running routine again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;.. If you\u2019re off on a holiday or you simply feel your body deserves a bit of mid-season rest&#8230;.. Don&#8217;t feel guilty! Take time to recharge the batteries before taking the training and healthy eating up again.<\/p>\n<p>Happy and healthy running everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes life takes over and we don&#8217;t have time in our day to get out and run!
