I went for a 6-8 mile run September 4th getting ready for my 20 mile run the next day. The Monday before I had set a personal training record on a 5 mile hilly run through my neighborhood. At the 2 mile mark I stopped with nothing left for energy in my body and walked a 1.5 miles home. In the past month I have been fighting a consistent headache, chills, tiredness and weakness. I have had to cancel running the Philadelphia 1/2 Marathon Distance Run and Steamtowm Marathon. I have seen two doctors with blood test and chest x-rays. No answer. Everytime I do feel better, I go for a couple mile jog and I am right back to feeling crappy. I am trying rest, detox, vitamins and supplements, meditation and another visit to the doctor. I have checked my symptoms on webMd myself! I am not accepting feeling like this and no one should. I feel great outside of these symptoms. I am blessed with my family, friends and able to follow my passion professionally in life. Where I am at right now is-I just don't feel like my normal high energy, balanced self and I will get that back asap!
My point is that regardless of any situation you find yourself in that bring pains, discomfort, imbalance, energy drain or you just don't feel right...do something about! Don't accept it! Use others as needed for expertise or support. Educate and motivate yourself. By "mindful" of
your situation by being aware of what is happening in the moment and find your starting point.
So we all have curves thrown at us in life. There is a saying that "there are no problems or challenges in life , only opportunities". So my opportunity right now is "What can I do today that will make the greatest impact on my health and wellness?" Because if this was you telling me how you are feeling...it would be what I would ask you.
