Junk Drawer It’s a Recovery Week between big volume builds and I’m sitting here relaxing, pondering and surfing. eDiscs from eLoad rock my socks. They taste like Sweet Tarts give you a boost when you need it AND are amusingly fizzy. Borrowed from: Chuckie Vs Blog. Just as it is with stretching* I’m not an ardent advocate of drills. Now before anybody gets themselves in a tizzy, I must first assert that I am not talking about motorized drills like the kind they sell down at Home Depot, with batteries and bits and lengthy warning labels.

Back and forth. 5 x (3′ Zone 4, 2′ Zone 1) NEW to me [...] 2nd Trimester – Mar Apr May With this Recovery Week almost over, I enter the next trimester in my “birth of an Ironman”.
