This is the end of week 1 of the 12 week challenge – end of week 4 overall… It’s 6:00 on a Sunday morning and I’m writing a journal entry having ALREADY been to the gym. WTF?
Anyway, 4:30am start today, was a little worried about the sore joints/tendons/whatever – these were fine after the warm-up, gave no grief during the training session, and have only now started to hurt a little again. Guess I need to keep moving my arms all day!
