It’s Not Too Much
9 Mar
I hear it a lot from people, that I do too much: running, cycling, weights, etc..but in all honestly I only spend an average of 6-8 hours at the gym a week. I don’t think that’s a problem and I know when I feel an injury coming on, I need to take a break. And I do that. I listen to my body when it tells me that it’s time to rest because I know that if I don’t, it’s going to lead to an injury. I’ve been battling fatigue on and off lately but I know it’s due to my own internal stress, not by doing “too much.” So what is my plan on combating the stress? Well, I took Body Flow at the gym today, which is a Tai Chi/Yoga/Pilates class, which was indeed relaxing.
The thing is that I know if I stop doing this, I think I’d go batty. It’s been a part of my life for the past four years and has kept away the depression that I battled for years. I enjoy it & I love the feeling of running across a finish line. I know this isn’t for everyone, but it’s for me.
