Solid, if unspectacular, training the past two weeks. The grind of base building is still there, but luckily I can see the finish line for this phase in my training. Of course with that finish line, comes the starting line for some really tough training, but the change will do me good. I hope.

But that's still a few weeks off. For now, I'll just keep on keeping on.
