The Week Off

This is the week that many folks don't want to see come about.

The week off.

However, it must occur. Remember...we do not achieve growth by how well we train. We achieve growth by how well we RECOVER from our training.

Does that make sense?

So, if you feel up to training this week, then by all means train.

If you feel like taking the week off and doing something else, by all means do that.

I know I am.

There's a good chance that while you're reading this I'm fishing. A really good chance!

God bless you,
Steve
