So haven't done any more training this week. I think I jumped back in too soon and didn't give the body enough time to rest :doh: Have felt really tired and rundown :? Sometimes I have to remind my self I'm not 24 anymore damn it! :pfft:

Will see how I feel over the weekend and maybe do something light.

Off to the SM comp tomorrow so that should be fun to watch :nod:
