my sporty spice lifestyle finally caught up with me at 525am. i couldn't believe it was time to get up. i felt like dead weight. there was no way in this world for me to get up and train a client in an hour. and then after that, another run??!!? OMG...
i cancelled my client AND my run (somehow the ability to text remains in the foggiest of states) and found myself in the same exact position three hours later, this time much better rested.
fortunately, i was able to muster enough energy to later play an energetic 2 hours of tennis hitting forehands and backhands.
thankfully, this day also coincided with another one of my dear clients treating me to a korean spa and massage treatment with a sushi dinner afterwards. this could not have come at a better time!
so, the lesson here is you gotta listen to what your body is telling you. at mid-age (sounds awful doesn't it?), your body has experienced a lot of life and extra care must be given to it if you want it to be dependable! i'm sure this day of 'taking it easy' i.e. no training, no lifting, no running... just tennis, some work, jacuzzi, massage, sushi and sake, will do wonders for me the rest of the week (like tomorrow) when once again, i'll push it like i'm vying for the next olympic berth.
so, if you can pull it off and sleep in instead....just do it!
