On being "fine" — and what fine is actually hiding.
There is a very specific kind of tired that a great many women describe as fine. It is the tired that gets you to school pickup, through a meeting, and into bed by ten, every day, forever. It is not a crisis. It is also — let's be honest — not health.
This week I want to make a careful distinction between functioning well and feeling well, and why the difference matters rather a lot for how you think about your training, your sleep, and whether to take your chronic low-grade symptoms seriously (you should).
Also: why "have you tried yoga?" is not, as far as I'm aware, a complete medical answer.
