everything costs something. everybody pays.
sometimes we come across an opportunity that is to good to pass up. we have to dig a hole, to burn it at both ends. to give up what we want now to make tomorrow, or next month, or next year into something better.
since may i have been busy. building and burning in a way i have never before imagined. stress levels were through the roof. i watched my waking heart rate creep up two beats per minute each day until i stopped measuring. most of my own training went to the back burner, i only slept 5 hours a night, my recovery ability went into the toilet.
it hurts now. more than i remember. getting back. pushing into that space, kicking until something breaks…
this is the price i have paid, back sliding… strength and power stuck, even went up a bit, but endurance and recovery are a little more slippery. i have slept. i have recovered. and now its time to dig. to grind. to rebuild.
