The week that crashed



I started Monday morning with the intention of having a really good, on track week. My shoulder was feeling better so I could probably go a little harder at Crossfit and I was ready to get my eating back on track. Then Sunday I came down with a stuffy nose and scratchy throat.

But 9am I am there. This train is back on the tracks and ready to leave the station.
