Tri’ing to Find Balance and the Fountain of Youth
I have been working out consistently, that is just what I do and who I am. I am proud to say that my workouts are always changing and I would like to think - evolving. My family tends to identify the changes as “fads”.
Running since adolescence, I was plagued with numerous repetitive use injuries that were interrupting my running and also my everyday life. So a number of years ago, in my mid-thirties, I began to add some cross-training to my running. To my surprise I love cycling. Swimming on the other hand, is still not an activity I enjoy.
Cross training was good for me on many levels. It allowed my body to rest, recover and gain strength in some of my weaker areas. It also revived my interest in pushing myself and working hard. While swimming is still a struggle, I have noticed considerable improvement in my cycling.
After a few years of logging many miles on foot and on two wheels, and swimming difficult laps in the pool, I have once again revamped my training. Never motivated by racing, I trained hard and consistently, but rarely raced. My friend and running partner gets it. She says we are training for quality of life, good health and old age. I have to add sanity.
Over the past year, I have once again altered my daily exercise and training. I rarely work out for more than an hour. Some days I only work out for 15-20 minutes. Focusing more on quality over quantity, I am very pleased with the results and love finding other things to do with my extra time. I have gained muscle and lost fat. More importantly I sleep later in the mornings and don’t feel constant hunger.
The latest fad in my life is less is best. Live simply, but go hard.
