Back in the Saddle
After taking a planned two weeks (that turned into 3 weeks) off from my training following a track meet I ran in I am pleasantly surprised to see that my strength has gotten better. Now my Trainer brain tells my that makes sense because your body needs time to rest and rebuild/recover, but I am still always excited to pick up without having to drop off too much in weight, or intensity in my sprints.
I have a new running schedule that will start soon, and in addition to my lifting I am hoping for a good indoor season ( 2 meets LOL, long season!) Anyway I feel good about my plan, and I like to tell people that I am in training to keep me motivated, so when they ask me about I can tell them its going good, and not " oh, I haven’t started yet 
" So wish me luck, and ask my how its going, so I don’t turn my rest into 4 weeks or longer! -Pete
