When you just don’t feel right you need to decide if this is a “push-through” moment or a rest and recover moment. The repercussions of making an incorrect decision in this case can be extreme. Many times in my life I have “pushed through” pain and found serious injury on the other side. I am now trying to avoid such problems and learn to listen when my body is complaining.
I recently developed a pain on the top of my left foot. I don’t know what caused it, but it hurt and it showed up as a bruise. GRAPHIC PHOTO BELOW! SCROLL FAST IF YOUR STOMACH IS WEAK!
OK it is really just a link, I wanted to keep this family friendly. Yes, I do have a couple of webbed toes but that is a subject for another day.
What I love about triathlon training is that biking and swimming didn’t bother me so I could flex my training and keep right on going! I just biked and swam for a week or so and it felt better. I really don’t know what the problem was, and I don’t care too much because my goals are still intact and I feel better now.
I am hoping to apply this principle in every area of my life. Maybe if I focus on my goals more and relax about how to acheive them, I can hit them with more regularity. I hope you can too.
