Your right Vman, about this being an amazing support and about that devil ready,waiting and trying to beat us up again.
I like to think that all of my plan and recovery work is like a pro boxer training for a fight.
I cannot cut any corners, I cannot shirk my training regime, I cannot expect to turn up in the ring on the night having not trained and expect not to get knocked out at the very best or killed at the very worst.
I cannot allow myself to believe for a minute that I will do anything other than win.
The fight is coming at some point and there will be something else in that ring desperate to punch my lights out.
If I am well nourished, well rested with a good frame of mind and have been following my training/recovery plan then at least I stand a fighting chance when the punches start to fly!
