Modifications

Life is fluid, as is training. I have found that I need to be good at both pushing towards goals with strong determination and also modifying when needed.

I have a few modifications to make in the next week ... some minor - some major. The most immediate modification is due to some of my in-laws coming out for five days.

Sophie's eggs and update

My last two weeks have been good training weeks. I missed some plyrometric work-outs but I made up for them with hikes with my daughter in the backpack with friends at Cascade Head and the Oregon Coast Line.
