Great time to reflect

I have not injured myself training for a long time.
Sure there have been some aches and pains but no
injuries. Anyway Saturday wasn't really
concemtrating on what I was doing and strained a
calve. Nothing bad but it will give me a good
opportunity to reflect and refocus the training.
Training at the moment will be based upper body
work but just taking it easy on the legs and prep
for Z-health cert. A lot of lower body band work.
Looking forward to being back at it soon enough;)
