Been a while since I last posted. Training has been going mediocre, fighting fatigue and drain, but overall not bad. I have been trying to focus on intensity throughout the WOD, and really pushing through the mental barrier of pain. The Games season is quickly approaching(next week), and the thought of a years worth of training for this brief period seems a bit overwhelming at times.Thoughts roll through my head a thousand times a day; Have I trained enough Oly? Are my strength numbers where they need to be? Is my metabolic conditioning where it needs to be? Is my mind going to be strong and firmly affixed to my goal, or will I let the pain of the WOD win over my desire to qualify for Regionals? I think if you are serious enough about anything, you will have these thoughts, you just have to harness that fear and use it for positive reinforcement. I have been really careful this year in the fact that I'm trying really hard not to peak too early. I still occasionally get the PR I was looking for, or crush a WOD, but I would really like to think that my training is peaking as I am writing this blog. The next 6 weeks will tell the tale as far as approach and conditioning, and God willing I won't get injured so I can have  heal;thy Games season.
