Life is all about managing expectations isn't it? As my body continues it's slow by inexorable downward spiral on the way to the ice floe, I can accept most of the changes. Year after year I manage to set reasonable new goals, and feel good about working towards them. What I find more difficult is when significant change happens suddenly. And while I still don't understand what's going on with my body, I do believe that with a new set of expectations it's gonna be okay. I still have some work to do, but today I felt a hint of progress.
Today's new normal was a slow but steady15 km run. And although slow, I maintained the same pace throughout, and my heart rate was perfect. The best part was that I didn't feel any tightness in my chest, and/or anxiety.
Game on!

You know what really should put things in perspective for you? I'm what they call a "healthy young male", and I can't even bloody run 15km, let alone a slow 15km!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing, and once you keep getting back into the exercising, I'll think you'll start feeling better about it all. Love you!
