My shoulder is showing massive improvement! Overall things are going well and I'm feeling faster and more confident. I had a nice, relaxing weekend in Moab with Tara and my batteries are recharged. Good things are on the horizon. On top of that, I got this amazing email from a client that really helped get me in an even more positive mindset.

Jason:
Just wanted to touch base with you. My racing season is in full
swing...I've won a local race and gotten into the top 10 and the
podium at big national races. we had 2 70 mile races this  past
weekend (i took 7th in one of them), a lot of the girls were
complaining about back trouble and I was not one of those girls. My
hill climbing has massively improved and even better, I still have my
sprinting power at the end of these long stages!!!! I am vowing to try
to do some sort of core maintenance because I don't want to lose
everything.

But I just want to sincerely THANK YOU so much for your time and
attention to customizing a program to work for my specific goals and
to accommodate all my injuries and not interfere with my bike
training!!!

This is the reason why I love to train people. Seeing tangible results from what I put my heart into reinvigorates me.
