Well, first time blogging since Sunday.  I was planning on training on Monday, but had a surprisingly very busy and full day of coaching, so I couldn't fit anything in.

I was able to train yesterday, but had to be cut short to coach.  Yesterday's coaching and training seemed to really take it out of me.  My body just felt worn out and just crappy.

Today's training was lighter volume and felt good.  I went 1 for 2 in each of my lifts at 85%.

While at times I may initially get annoyed that I can't fit training in, coaching takes a priority.  Ultimately, it's the development of my athletes, not of myself that is more important at this point in my life.  At times I need to realize that I have a career as a coach and not as an athlete anymore!
