TIL the real reason for a zero day from a ranger in Yosemite

He told me, 'Your gear can handle 20 miles, but your mind needs a day to catch up,' after I pushed too hard on the JMT last fall. Anyone else have a trail lesson that changed how you plan a trip?

Is that really a thing or just a nice saying? I've pushed through plenty of long days and just felt tired, not like my mind was lagging behind.

Maybe you just haven't hit that specific kind of wall yet.
