Oh boy - I can SO RELATE! DH is a maniac. It's March in New England, and he has been out doing 100+ miles on Saturdays. Hasn't had a day off the bike since January. When I have a day I'm supposed to be off, he scoffs at me and tells me I should be riding (despite having my own coach who says otherwise).
The ONLY thing that has worked for me has been to put my foot down. I was sick this winter for SIX weeks because I didn't stop when my body needed to rest.
Don't get me wrong - I LOVE my DH (most of the time), but sometimes he has to accept that I'm going to do it my way...
My point? Empathy mostly, but also to tell you to take care of yourself and be careful.

no, he works at the LBS doing sales and light mechanical work. So no, I used to work at an LBs- it is a piece of cake compared to my job now! He wouldn't get it though, when he was a college runner he would run 18-20 miles a day! he is just way to crazed when it comes to physical activity! It is becoming a problem with life, oh well.

BF is the same way. He isn't happy or doesn't feel like he's gotten rid of all his energy until he's ran 10 miles or biked 100.
I can't keep up with that. And it's making me feel like a slacker and giving me some insecurity issues right now.
And I only ride horse TWICE a week, and i'm always exhausted afterwards. So I can't imagine how you must feel!
It's your body, and you know best. Treat it well!
