This week I've been struggling with extreme exhaustion and aching all over. I have no other symptoms which would make me think that I am sick, so my only thought was that I was overtraining. The problem with that thought, though, is that I cut back on my training and I seemed to get worse as the week went on. The aching is not like a typical soreness either. My whole body just seems to be throbbing all the time, and my muscles are really tight. The exhaustion is more than being tired, my body feels like I ran a marathon and I have no energy left.
What gives?
I haven't a clue what is wrong with me, but Jim and his friend might be onto something:
I had back surgery September 8 of this past year. Since my surgery I have had strep, the flu, two colds, and four other infections. Plus, I injured my knee, had a cavity filled, and last week fell and injured my ankle, knee, and hip on the right leg. The thought is that my body is exhausted from fighting all of this. I may have reached my limit on healing.
This weeks workouts:
Monday: Run, forms, chest and triceps
Tuesday: Forms, Legs, cool down with abs
Wednesday: Run, forms, back and biceps
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Even more rest
The rest did not help...I think resting is overrated!
