My plan is to follow a mix of crossfit and fencing training. I returned to fencing about 4 months ago after an 8 year break. I'll update goals later. I intend to use this blog as a workout and nutrition diary.

Today's Workout

90 Minutes Astanga Yoga.

I need to really work on my flexibility mainly from a injury prevention view point. I have a lot of niggling lower body injuries
