without rest

For now, we were a ragged caravan assembling ourselves after a long night without rest.

In the meantime, a mom in West Seattle goes nights without rest, knowing that someone who killed her child — intentionally or not — is walking free, without consequence.

And they were kept at it, under the eye of the ever-present overseers, without rest except to eat, until dark.

Despite all the marketing slogans that encourage us to push our limits, Miller writes, “we are limited, and we can hurt ourselves, whether by attempting a multiday hike without any training, strapping into a Peloton day after day after day without rest, or working out outside during a ‘code red’ air-quality alert.”

“I just think more than two years without rest is too big of a risk. There are really big events coming up, like the Olympics, that I really, really don’t want to miss. So, to be able to be available for the National Team for the next I don’t know how many years, I feel like I have to miss this one.”
