Even though the start of Spring has been rather pleasant here, it seems as if life is bursting forth almost overnight. Our muckle plum tree was nothing more than bare branches a couple of days ago, and now it is a riot of pink blossoms. Our hedge has also gone from barren to green and lush quite quickly, and the maple tree will be making a mess with its' blossoms any day now. I spied tight little lilac buds yesterday, so it won't be long before I'm breathing in their gorgeous scent. Everything around me is springing to life, and here I am feeling like I am merely surviving these past couple of weeks. My body is not too happy lately. My typically low and tolerable chronic nerve pain is still mostly low but not so tolerable with a few days of brutal pain to make me extra miserable. For someone who is incredibly consistent, I cut two training sessions very short and skipped two sessions entirely because of how my body felt. The nerve pain stuff can be more than enough, but both knees have been feeling unstable and achy a lot lately, the low back is a bit achy, and an elbow is starting to flare up. I feel more tired than I think I should, and I have been making more of an effort to conserve energy than to be productive. I am trying not to say that I'm being lazy though, because there is value in rest and I am still doing all sorts of things. I just think I should be doing more, at least until a body part aches or nerve pain crushes my foot. It's been a rough start to the month physically, and that takes a toll mentally. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
