I woke up exhausted this morning after a double climbing session last night. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back asleep so I was really tired and my muscles were very sore.
I didn’t want to get out of bed and didn’t really think I could exercise today. I felt like I had spent everything I had.
Here’s the thing: I absolutely hadn’t.
Not only did I get up and ride the bike for my usual daily 15 minutes, do my core and my arms but I also went climbing again later in the day.
I told myself I would just take it easy and do all the routes that I knew I could. But once we got there that’s not what I ended up doing.
I tried whatever looked fun and ended up climbing several routes that were pretty hard for me. Then about 2 hours in, once I really did feel exhausted, I decided that was enough.
This was my third day of climbing in a row.
It was a good reminder that even when I think I don’t have anything left, I have plenty left.
Yes to finding my own boundaries.
