I CAN do it

I am : ATTUNE

Yesterday was interesting. Jake and I made plans to frolf. I decided to run to Kaposia. About 5 miles. It was a hot day, and absolutely beautiful. On the way there, I was making decent time, my stomach cramped up big time. The only thing really different that I had eaten that day was some V8 that had been in my cabinet for probably too long. It was probably a combination of that, and the heat, and not drinking quite enough water (gasp!). But, more than anything, I need to listen to my body. It is shouldering the brunt of the load, so I must always listen to its needs. Which is why I'm taking a week off of lifting. "They" say you should do this about every 8 weeks or so, to prevent CNS overtraining. I haven't taken a week off since...I don't know how long. I will still run though, but I need to give my muscles some time to recharge, and get prepared for a new batch. I will formally set my new goals, then, this weekend, and get started next monday. If anyone is feeling nice and wants to buy me something, I'm in the market for "Men's Health Book of Muscle" by Ian King. It comes highly recommended. Thanks!
