Reflect and Refresh

Day 20

You’re heading into a big transition.  Only two weeks of training left. Take a moment and reflect on where you’ve come.

As you recover over the next couple of days, be active but don’t push.  Go for a casual walk with your dog, or a best friend. 

Think about why you started down this path, and don’t forget how far you’ve come. Enjoy your feeling of accomplishment.
