It is better to undertrain than overtrain

I woke up today with pain in my rotator cuff. I think perhaps my six day a week schedule is a bit much to start with, even with the light recovery workouts. I'll play it by ear, but I must remember that in the long run it is smarter to err on the side of undertraining than to err on the side of overtraining. If you overtrain you can end up with serious long-term injuries.

I am scheduled to do a hard run today. Perhaps I'll just do a light run today (no big stress on my rotator cuff), like 1.7 miles at an easy pace, and take tomorrow's day off as scheduled.

In general, for the triathlon I think it's best to exercise just enough to meet my goals. My goal for the May 3 Tri is to just finish. The July one was going to be to do better than last year, but they changed the freaking location of the race so I have no basis of comparison. That sucks.
