When training is going and I’m into it, it’s all I care about. When I get a little toasted or step back, the boredom creeps up and creativity is there waiting for me
I try to be careful with timeframe when I think about balance. Balance in the hour usually isn't a good thing (balance and focus are rarely compatible). A balanced year (or decade) might be a good goal sometimes (but probably not if you want to be a good parent, for example). The real trick is to balance your various periods of deliberate imbalance, towards having a balanced lifetime.
The ground is always moving under our feet. I'm most at ease with both running and writing when I don't fuss too much about the balance, and simply keep the legs spinning. Varying degrees of success with that.

That's the balance I'm talking about. I wanna go as hard as possible on both at the same time. NO EBB. NO FLOW.

Agree! And a lot can be found in those extremes.
If anyone had cracked the formula to balance, they would be very wealthy, and we would be somewhat happier. Probably.
Either way, I think I’m the most balanced I’ve ever been, but I’m certain a few people would disagree :D

I largely agree, but I love fussing too much 😆
Oh yeah. I'm an over-fusser from way back.
A lot of joy in this post. Love it!
It's been a really lovely week
