the way i see it

The nice thing about the day of rest is that next morning you are less sore, so you are inspired to train with renewed vigor, so you can be more sore again.

As to the car, it's totaled. It's gone. I am not sure how I did that. Not exactly matching my plans for autumn. But here's the good news: I am in one piece. And I can add to that: not having a car doesn't interfere with my training plan. Yes, I can run without a car.

There are people who think I am a pessimist. Go figure.
