I'm more passionate about cycling than running and it gives me a chance to do both. David - I do, but not as much anymore. I'm going to have to get back into it. Gwen - I've been excersing (at the gym or at home) since I was 14. I agree, when I get stressed, I push hard - even when I shouldn't. Cassie - I injured my groin AGAIN since I posted this. It's true. Some of us never learn. Angie – Still going to run a marathon but right now I’m focusing on a triathlon. I’m more passionate about cycling than running and it gives me a chance to do both.

He is always pushing himself way too hard and then regretting it later. No matter what though, he STILL does it. He just never learns. *sigh* You sound just like my husband.

Yes, working out is a great release. But trying to keep up with the same volume of exercise when taking on a 2nd job, or dealing with an increase in psychological stress, can be a recipe for injury &/or illness. Your body needs time to heal and get stronger. And a lot of athletes--particularly those who are new to a sport and are eager to improve--don't allow themselves adequate time to rest & recover. Taking time off will allow you to improve, and is NOT a sign of failure!

That's a hard lesson to learn. I know as I have been suffering a pinched nerve in my back since July and was almost completely healed, until I decided that I HAD to dig up 2 large shrubs & plant a tree there, right now, without help. Now my remaning 3 weeks of physical therapy is probably going to be 6 and my fitness goals for the year are probably totally blown. Oh I’m sorry. That’s a hard lesson to learn.
