In your case (and other runners' cases), the "work" is running (and for you, other life stress including your camps, moves, etc). Even good stress is stress (e.g., marriage/new partner, new job) that stresses the system. She was passionately working too much and one night at a work function, blacked out. I last talked to her 6-8 months into it and she was still very low on energy, finding herself not yet able even to do yoga. I think overtraining syndrome should perhaps just be called "over-lifing." She was found to have the same adrenal fatigue, etc. Just an FYI, thought you might be curious to hear about.Bernadette Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395370031916207980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-58360326488443332992013-12-24T01:22:35.008-09:002013-12-24T01:22:35.008-09:00Merry X-mas and Health for next Year !Merry X-mas and Health for next Year !pasi.koskinenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633743384053421058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-37499511464731979072013-12-20T16:36:54.506-09:002013-12-20T16:36:54.506-09:00at some point soon, it'll be the running that ...at some point soon, it'll be the running that makes you stronger and not the lack thereof. can't wait to hear about it when it happens!erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002087469616786196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-38576304843576252962013-12-15T16:12:29.112-09:002013-12-15T16:12:29.112-09:00Great write-up, Geoff!

Same thing happened at UROC in his epic battle with Dakota. Listening to reports from the Eagle's Nest at UROC, sounded like the same deal.<br /><br />Great to see you this weekend; glad you're continuing to feel better!RunFlahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07700869139483984216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-18201646737682913472013-12-11T02:18:22.366-09:002013-12-11T02:18:22.366-09:00Glad for your return!
