Training Log: Cardio/Conditioning
Just went for a walk today. Needed it. Today should have been my squat training day. Even last night I was mentally prepared to set new PRs today. Then, I couldn’t sleep last night. So I woke up and decided today wasn’t the day to squat, much less pursue a new total. This is ok. I’ll be ready Monday morning. Hopeful to rest this weekend. Posted via email from Kris...
