I am. It takes a lot out of me to prepare to be social, then be social, then recover. When I started getting interested in psychology (4th year med school, when I took a test and learned that I am not an extravert I thought I was), I figured it could be a way of my self-defense. And, like you, I lived most of my life trying to prove something (lots of it goes back to abusive, even if loving in their own way, parents, for whom nothing had ever being good enough). Only recently do I come out as someone who does things that matter to me. One day it could be to run well. Another - to run free.<br />As for your training - don't be hard on yourself, yet be honest. If you can look at yourself in the mirror and say you gave a day your full attention and best shot, you did. Control what you can, and accept what you can't. Don't overdo it just to "do" it. Be smart. And like yourself a little, truly like:)Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178232238702472215.post-15055555830131468982012-11-26T15:51:58.362-08:002012-11-26T15:51:58.362-08:00I won't do a sub 9 hour Fling mate but i'l...I won't do a sub 9 hour Fling mate but i'll do a Fling and buy you a beer.xSubversive Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314881465522292553noreply@blogger.com
