Training:

Comment: Went for the reset this past week. LUE is feeling better and there wasn’t the same drop in power output. R achilles/hagland is still an issue. Limping around for the first couple of hours in the morning has been frustrating. Was able to get in 3 sessions of BJJ which felt overall good. Still positionally limited due to my foot.
