Tuesday pull day.

First day back since last Tuesday.
My little brother got married friday as well as we had a sort of family reunion saturday to take advantage of all the family that were from out of state that traveled up for the wedding.

Between setting up and taking care of things for both events there was simply no time for training.

I had electrical inspections on the house I'm building on Tuesday that I needed to make corrections for in preparation on Monday, again with training taking a back seat.

Was a good session. Because my training dances right on the line of what is recoverable for me, time away from training almost always does me good in mitigating the accumulated fatigue and aches and pains.

So for the time being, I'm switching from training at around 5pm, to training at 5am before work.

As some of you may know, I've been building my house for the better part of a year, and I'm also getting married in September. So now it's really coming down to a time crunch to get it done and get in before the wedding.
I've been doing everything myself and had been obviously very time consuming.

In order to make the house a priority, I need to be able to go over there after work to get some hours in there, after the office, which normally is my gym time. So gym time needs to be made up elsewhere.

At the moment I'm waking at 430am, slamming a shake with whey and cyclic dextrin and some blueberries with honey, heading straight to the gym and starting my training around 5am.

This is gonna take some getting used to, but we gotta do what we gotta do.
