So I have a different problem (reconstructed joints due to trauma), but joint related never-the-less.

My thought process is that I’m still in what should be my athletic prime and I’ll likely be a healthier individual later on in life by pushing myself as hard as possible now. I do try to keep that framing in my mind so that, if I ever feel uncomfortable to the point of potential injury, I’ll have the long term mindset to pull up if it’s in my benefit.

At the end of the day, we aren’t professional athletes and while it’s great to hit a PR in the short term, you’ll be more likely to hit higher lifetime PRs by staying healthy while consistently working at a reasonably difficult intensity.

Mods mods mods + prehab exercises + listening to my problem joints.

Know the difference b/w good pain and bad pain. Stop when you feel bad pain.

Anyone looking at traveling to Costa Rica? They have a list of states from which they will admit tourists while also requiring a negative covid test, health history, etc. As someone not on the approved list, I am bitter and curious why the population is grouped at a state level when there are massively different rates of infection within each state (not to mention personal responsibility) and you are already required to present a negative test. Any idea how often those lists get updated?

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.
