Great post. I follow your instagram and between all the books you read, your adventures, your teaching and your Substack posts, I figured you were super busy but assumed that was just your natural state. Interesting to get a peak inside your life and hear that it really was super busy and became overwhelming. Also, great reflections on identity and work -- sounds like you're headed in a much more sustainable and enjoyable direction.

This resonates with me. Decoupling identity and self worth from your work, workouts and all things pertaining to performance had a bearing on my mental health. If I didn’t run 5 miles at 4 AM even if I was injured, meant I was a lazy person. This year I plan to be more mindful of my training.
