The two weeks following Nationals was filled with plenty of confusion, frustration, travel, eating, sleeping, and so much puppy cuddling.

This week was my first week back to training, and I only managed two training days. One day of light squats, and one day of light bench. I managed to work up to 135x8x5 for both, and felt sore and tired for days after. I felt soreness that I haven't felt before. It was my body's way of saying "Stop it stupid!" So I ate more, slept more, and when I woke up this morning I finally felt GOOD. I haven't felt good in a long time, so this is an awesome feeling. Back to the grind on Monday. I'm putting a bench shirt on, which should be hella exciting!
