2 1/2 Weeks Since USAT AG Nationals

It has been 2 1/2 weeks since USAT AG Nationals and i am finding
"taking a break" from training to be challenging but necessary. We
devote so much physical and mental energy to this sport throughout the
season and when the last race concludes it is like having the rug
swept from underneath you.



Dave Smith, my coach, reminded me that I need to rest and change gears
until December in order to make gains next year.

This is the first year that I did not feel burned out and I attribute
that to smarter training. I look forward to start up with planned
training on December 1 and until then I will go back to weight
training and other sports that I also enjoy.  I
 will resume masters swimming with Tidewater Aquatic Club (TAC) sooner since that is my weakness.
The Recovery Sock
Recently I gave a new brand of recovery sock a try and loved it. The
science behind it makes good sense and after doing a 5 k last weekend
I was amazed at how great my legs felt afterwords.



I also wear them to work where I spend numerous hours on my feet and am amazed at the
difference in how I feel.  Check them out at:
