Post race highs. Post race lows. And everything in between. Today, we look at this journey as something that honestly builds health. Are your expectations bringing too much pressure and anxiety into your life? Are you falling into the traps over and over? Are you really training for health or to chase false hope? We like to think of this sport as a long range compass that should build strength, health, and sustainability. Exercise is supposed to give you energy, not take it away. Stay away from too high or too low. Find something that moves you each day and makes you look forward to tomorrow.
