How do you deal with it?


Say mountain biking wasn't an option, how would you deal with it?

running, yoga, playing with my dog, sitting in the sprinkler, sun bathing, hot baths, long walks, reading, sleeping, talking about the bs.

I hate stress and try to avoid it at all costs. I have many avenues of stress relief and prevention.

and mtn biking isn't an option???

Man, that's tough. I need something that gives a physical workout and demands all my attention. Even road riding doesn't do it because my mind can wander over the course of a ride.

I'd probably look for pickup basketball games - real games though, not just shooting hoops for a few hours.

blowing apart a TV with an AK 47 helped me once...Otherwise the gym would be the "other" endorpin enducer if biking was out of the question to help with stress.

I go to the gym and work out. It helps tremendously and you walk out feeling a lot better.
I may do that, at this point I have little time to fit anything else in.
