taking a pass on greylock

Awoke on the morning of Greylock with the flattest, most whole body exhaustion that I’ve had in quite some time.
So...
Follow the heart that wants to run?
Or the brain that says “you’re headed for a crash”.
For once, I followed my brain and went back to bed – giving up at least 60 Grand Tree points for another 6 hours of sleep (and still felt tired upon waking).
This has been slowly building for several weeks and signs were showing as far back as before the USA Hockey Level IV classes back in May. Didn’t help I was at the NSCA Restoration and Recovery Symposium all weekend before the race. My morning Resting Heart Rate has been inching up into the 50's and my sleep patterns are off.
Time to rethink my training, take it back a step, focus on excelling at preparation for summer camps, begin my base training again and head into the summer break with the right foundation and mindset.
I really want to do the Assault and People's with authority this year. Maybe even Skyline now?
