Oof, some days your body just says NOPE to exercise, and that's OK. I barely managed a mile before my calves started screaming. Time for a rest week.

After a nice but very long cycling day with lots of altimeter in addition, we reached Fethiye. Our plan was to book ferry tickets for early next morning and search a campspot near the port. The officer at the port told us the ferry was canceled because of bad weather. Oh, with this situation we didn't calculated. And we couldn't see bad weather on our wetherforcast website... The next possible ferry was sceduled for 3 days later.
We felt a bit disapointed, because we passed some nice places without stopping, but ok...
The two days we had to wait for the ferry we stayed in a hostel room. The two days the air was full of the sahara dust, it was super foggy and had zero visibility. But ok... we took these day to make laundry by hand and to relax a lot...

Not entirely sure why, but on #restdays I feel more tired than on the days I workout 🤔 #powerbuilding #weightlifting
@longcovid when you went out for a walk yesterday when it was cold & damp & miserable, so you need a rest day but now it's sunny outside and you wish you'd rested yesterday because you're not up to walking two days in a row and need to sleep and maybe watch a bit of telly but the sun shines on your TV screen and you might have to close the curtains to block it out which your Mum told you not to do. #LongCovid #RestDays #StillGratefulThough
It seems I might be overdoing it. I think #restdays are giving me mood swings.
