wow.. this is a wake up call for me . Like everyone else, I don't think I would stop trying to do everything but for the physical aspect (pain) of it holding me back... The challenge is accepting that it's going to take time and patience, both of which are not my forte. sigh. Thanks everyone for the support. It's hard to accept the reality of "slowing down" when you're so used to doing 45 things at once. On the flip side, it's a good time to adjust perspective.
I agree with the whole set back effect from going back to work/resuming exercise. Two weeks into work and with two endeavors on a short run under my belt, I woke up feeling worse than day 3. hence, I found this forum before I ran myself into the ground. Alright everyone, I'm off to "relax" , or at least for a first step, stay home from work and not still work, go for a run and clean the house.
