As they say there is no such thing as a journey without a few bumps in the road. Mine are medical and I am dealing with a few physiological/adrenal issues right now which are all understandable seeing what my body has been through the past 4 months. All of this time spent undergoing tests, appointments, and dealing with professionals in various fields has really opened my eyes into what technology in not just medicine, but performance and lifestyle is achieving right now. It seems like there is no function of any bodily system that cannot be tested, monitored and managed these days, which begs the question of: is there truly a limit to where our bodies can go, with not just sustaining but performing? Figures such as Ussain Bolt, Michael Phelps and the winners of the Crossfit Games every year are proving that there isn't, that we are constantly pushing, striving, going faster, lifting more, going longer than ever. I always go by the old adage in my training in that somewhere, some place in the world there is someone smarter, someone with more work capacity and someone working harder. This has been pushing me for the last year and is pushing me right now to heal in order to get back to "progress" from a health and training perspective
