Week 26 - Advice: Listen When the Body Insists...

Monday, November 3, 2008

My sinuses are a little clearer but my energy level has dropped through the floor. This is a rest day so I think I'll rest...


Tuesday, November 4, 2008

I'm still very tired but I decide to do a stationary bike ride while watching the election coverage. My time parallels my energy (28:40) but not my excitement (congratulations Obama!).


Wednesday, November 5 through Sunday, November 9, 2008

I'm too tired to do anything but work and come home and sit. I hate to do it but I decide to listen to my body and rest. No bike riding for the rest of the week. I did a radio interview on Wednesday and thought I sounded like the "Wazzup" guys from the beer commercial. My wife said the gravel in the voice wasn't noticeable (I think she's just being nice...).


Mental Skills Used for the Week: I am reminded of injured athletes that I've worked with in the past who were very reluctant to stop training due to injury. I'm not injured but this viral thingy is just wiping me out. However, I'm still wanting to keep up my momentum. Prudently, common sense has won out for the time being and I'm resting. So the mental skill of the week is listening to my body (i.e., associative thinking).

Until next week...
