End of September

Latter part of September. It hasn't been the easiest of times. I've been super tired with this little kiddo of ours. My training hours have been around 20.30 - 22.30 and night sleep has been short so it's pretty natural. I've taken much more rest and recovery days than normally. I'm okay with that anyway. gotta listen to the body.

Heavy breathing
