    I lift 4 days a week and have a set schedule/plan for each of those days. When I miss one of those 4 workouts the plan kind of gets messed up, but it doesn't bother me.
    The other 3 days are what I consider rest days. I enjoy my rest days.

    I love to get outdoors and hike. I do it everyday and if I can't, I do get a little sad! Walking or hiking, to me, is very therapeutic.

    I train Monday through Friday, rest on Saturday. I'm also involved in action pistol shooting. Which I normally try to do every Sunday during the season. I need my rest.

    I run daily, with the belief that it helps me in my goals. The reasoning is thus: 1)i train low intensity and predominantly work my slow twitch muscle fibers. This is for long distance and endurance. 2)loading my muscles appropriately to have a training effect and recover within 24 hours. Catching the supercompensation upswing is sweet. Also, my aerobic range has grown to be large enough that I can have a "higher intensity" aerobic workout and a lower instensity/recovery aerobic workout. 3) I believe that capillary growth, increases in mitochondrial density and lactate shuttle all improve with proper dosing of training loads and regular sessions.
