    Lol I have all the cold weather gear I need too but -15 to -25 windchills is just a LITTLE too cold for me :)

    At those temps i break out the balaclava and ski googles to keep me completly covered, and may just make my hike a shorter one. Although i love the cold!

    When I was an athlete in college our rest days consisted of 2-4 mile runs and 2-4 mile swims. Compared to normal workout days, 4-8 miles (a couple hours) of working out WAS a rest!

    Now I catch up on all the Netflix shows I haven't seen & eat popcorn :)

    Rest day?

    If I do take a recovery day I'll do something low impact and low intensity......go for a walk, take a leisurely bike ride etc

    Yoga or binge watch TV. Just finished House of Cards.

    OMG I'm half way through series 2 episode 4 - the interview. It's so good.

    Maybe just some stretching excercises. and finishing a project you ve been putting off. Wish they counted the calories for stretching you know you burn something doing it.

    Cook and eat
    This. What people don't realize is the body REBUILDS on rest days and not on the day that you exercise (unless you're doing split sessions). Wouldn't it make sense to nutritiously fortify the rebuilding process?

    I usually go to the gym and just walk on the treadmill, which isn't exactly rest...BUT if I have a lot to do on a rest day, I skip the gym. I shower at home and put on make-up and jeans!

    Right, I run every day. My last "rest" day was in July.
