A few weeks ago, I wrote about seeing my exhaustion warning signs. I don't think I realized how exhausted I was until the GW Parkway 10 miler. My body just didn't feel right. It wasn't from lack of training, but more from lack of resting. I was in essence "spent."
A lot of traveling, a lot of work and not enough time to actually slow down and relax or even take care of myself. My body and brain were just tired, I think they still are.
I've decided for the month of May to switch up how I exercise. Less running, more yoga/barre exercises and a regimented sleep schedule. I'm hoping that will help my body rejuvenate itself.
Next step, changing my diet a bit and maybe a monthly massage....
