2017 HOKA ONE ONE Postal Nationals Recovery Training Program, Week 2, Day 2, day after Christmas, take a light run (burn off some holiday desserts)

The recovery time around the holidays is a time for reflection, a time to relax, and a time to do all the things you missed when you were training hard! Go stand in line for the new Star Wars movie, find the gooiest, thickest pizza, and try a Vietnamese noodle house ( I go one that is Vegan, where everythng but the noodles and veggies made with tofu! It is awesome!).

Oh, an have a nice, relaxed run or walk today!
