A Time For Recovery and Rest

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."

--Ecclesiastes 3:1

There is a time to train, and a time to run; a time to rest and a time to recover.

I missed having December off to relax. So I'll take a few weeks off, get in some easy walks and runs, and work on healing myself from a memorable 2007 season. Then I'll begin my new year of training with a bit more patience, a lot more determination, and just a slight bit wiser.
