Just so. I don't lift (I can't get into anything related to strength training beyond push-ups) but I go running 5 days a week and I guard it jealously. My analogy for it is that every run is putting money into the bank. If I skip a day I can't help but think that I'm getting a little bit slower, a little bit out of shape for that. And that the next time I go for a run it'll be just a little bit harder and I'll be a little bit slower for the day off. That's all crazy of course - I know that things like that don't happen at the margins; at least not at my level of running. It motivates me though and if it's not true for a day skipped it is true for a month. Maybe a week. Which is why I'm currently unhappy that I didn't go running once on my Thanksgiving break. :-(
