I ended up working late last night, but I did let myself sleep in to 5:45 this morning and I do feel physically better so far.<BR/><BR/>Still a lot of stress. I got about 80% of where I needed to be for today on my project. I will be so happy when this project is over. It has been the toughest project I have had for over 5 years. But..... I am still employed :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks again everyone for putting up with my whining. I do think the half marathon, lack of sleep, and added stress was hitting me hard, and I was too proud to step back and rest.... not like I have ever done that before. :)Tim Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172993341866649612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-33328892049630124502008-02-24T12:13:00.000-05:002008-02-24T12:13:00.000-05:00Tim, your body is telling you that you need a brea...Tim, your body is telling you that you need a break! After I did my first half marathon, and after Chicago last year, I just flat out stopped everything...running, x-training, etc.--for 2-3 weeks. I slept late, did what I wanted, and just treated myself nice.<BR/><BR/>I work in systems/embedded software, but I know the life of an app programmer can be <B>hard</B>. Give it a couple weeks, maybe even wait until your project is over. Hey, there's no rush and you'll do yourself better in the long run by laying off.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963095264663210450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-29439301202453026382008-02-24T07:20:00.000-05:002008-02-24T07:20:00.000-05:00Just found your blog and enjoyed reading it.

Stress takes a bigger toll on us than I think we realize at times.<BR/><BR/>So, cut yourself some slack, take a break from exercise for a week like abimars said. It's ok and, for a greater good for you in the LONG RUN. There's nothing wrong with resting to revitalize and rejuvenate yourself. Give yourself that permission. <BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>Be well...Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034531091253691652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-58596630174595235702008-02-23T06:56:00.000-05:002008-02-23T06:56:00.000-05:00I'll just echo the other comments here - I've been...I'll just echo the other comments here - I've been going through a very similar thing. Rest is important, try to fit it in where you can. Also, I find whenever I fall out of my healthy eating happens, that has a big impact too. So if you can't get the rest you need, at least try to get those fruits, vegetables, & water down! And protein. Your body needs a certain amount of protein to recover.Rundoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13081535646679356029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-70441953838997915622008-02-22T20:39:00.000-05:002008-02-22T20:39:00.000-05:00Wow, Tim, give yourself some time to recoup from t...Wow, Tim, give yourself some time to recoup from the half...your body is telling you to chill a little.

It is needing rest, protien, something. Take some well deserved time off this weekend and enjoy your sleeping in, spending time with the kids and wife. Just have a relaxing weekend and by Monday you will feel like a new man.Marathoner in Traininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04644005438770813477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-23323631930911792482008-02-22T10:18:00.000-05:002008-02-22T10:18:00.000-05:00I remember one day feeling EXACTLY like you descri...I remember one day feeling EXACTLY like you described. I'd gotten on the same machine that I normally did my cardio on and after 10 minutes quit in frustration. Then I walked over to the weight bench and sat down feeling like I failed. Then a really nice guy came over and introduced himself. That's Paul and we've been encouraging each other ever since. It was also 74 lbs ago. Keep the focus on health, family, and friends. You'll be alright. Give yourself permission to rest/recover when you need it.

I stopped running and my other exercises for about a week and it made a big difference to my energy levels.

Injury is keeping me from exercise and I think that has been a good thing. My energy level continues to remain high, even with a reduced amount of exercise.Paul Tedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884860422534654625noreply@blogger.com
