Prepare to be amazed… you will see staggeringly low numbers for me across all areas this week. My body had been giving me signals that I needed a rest day, but I was having so much fun I just didn’t listen…the result was it needed lots of rest days!

Love that expression on your face in the photo.
Great job!!!!
I miss my long runs too when I have been slacking. Rest is important too - I'm learning the importance of it but still have trouble slowing down
I crave long runs...they are my absolute favorite!
When I don't do long runs for a while, I miss them too! We're all a little bit nuts.
Good job listening to your body and taking some extra rest. I love a long run on a route I haven't run in a while. It's familiar, but you notice lots of new things and changes.
Long runs are my favorite part of training too. I love just taking off and letting my feet & mind wander.
I love my long runs too! I think they're my favorite run of the week!

Looks all good to me. Rest is important, glad your're listening to your body.
It sounds like you know your body and know when to take it easy - nothing wrong with that! Good call.
Missing your long run sounds totally normal to me - in fact I feel nuts if I don't have mine.
