Its really weird…………. as you get older some days you can feel really awesome and then some days you feel like crap.
Case in point. I have been running for the past many months twice a week. Usually on Monday and Thursday. On Monday of this week I felt good and decided to do two more laps than I planned to. Well, a seven miler turned to over a 9miler. And in the last mile ,which has some gradual but long and hard uphills, I really tore my body up. I came home exhausted and I just sat there on the fireplace while my wife finished her video workout. I could barely move I was so tired.
Well, I managed to make it to the bathroom and took a long hot bath. When I got out I just laid in bed the rest of the night watching Barney with my daughters. Totally spent !!!
I hadnt run that far in a long time maybe close to 10 years and it showed its effects on me.
But last night I felt pretty good and I ran a swift 6.5 miler. It wasn’t a 9 miler but it was at a much faster pace and felt like I could easily have done 9 miles.
So my point is never to give up on yourselves if you have that bad day with exercising or even eating. In eating for instance , you might splurge a little bit too much on one day to the point of feeling bloated. But just relax and balance it out with some well proportioned salads the next day.
Remember as I have always said so many times you want to have balance, balance, balance in you Life !!
So I hope some of my own experiences give you some insight that you can successfully apply to your own lives.
Cheers,
