I have been away for a few weeks; not on vacation or even an amazing triathlon experience… I have been away from my computer while I have healed from wrist surgery.
To make a long story short, this wrist injury was born about 25 years ago. The birthing process began with a car accident (the story of junkyard Janet)->broken arm->surgery->oops! we nicked her radial nerve->tendon transfer->and now, that tendon became frayed and needed repair again…Bummer!
Why am I telling you all of this? For two reasons:
1. Because I have not been able to work-out for two weeks now and I am not a happy camper. My life is totally out-of-balance when I cannot, at the VERY least, get out and RUN!
2. When I went into pre-op, and the surgeon saw my blood pressure of 80/60 and resting heart rate of 42, he thought I needed an EKG before he could give me a general anaestetic. My husband contributed, “but she is a triathlete!” The surgeon replied (with a smile) ” then, off to surgery!!!” I felt “validated” that all of my hard work had payed off for my physical well-being in a surgical risk! Yes! I will be back!
Back to reason #1-of course, there is more to life balance (believe it or not)than swimming, biking and running…For me, there is the Word of God…and my pastor just happened to give sermon on “balance” just when I needed it the most. I would love to share that sermon with you:http://vimeo.com/8655651
How do YOU find YOUR life balance? I would love to hear from you.
