Doing the right thing!

Week four is done! I am feeling pretty good. However, I ought to be after not working out asm uch as my program called for during this past week. I kinda fell off the wagon a bit with work stuff as well as all the fast approaching holiday. Anyway, my goal for this week is to get some much needed rest and get back under the swing of training!

Ok, so once again its been a while. I am going to try to be more consistent with the blogging this season to track my performance and be able to reflect on my situation. I had a difficult season last year with being hit by a car in middle of May. Followed by a surgery leaving a plate and 8 screws in my right shoulder and hours and hours of physical therapy and couch time.
