10/30 Circuit Training

Peak Week Day 6
1 more day!

Oh snap! I am freaking pumped and ready to go. My focus is completely on this show and I got top 2 in both my classes in my sights. I may not be freaky conditioned but I'm bringing a sick package of size, symmetry, and conditioning that fits my frame well. I have totally smashed what I looked like this past spring. Joe, I can't thank you enough, you've guided and been there for me the whole way through, you gave me the plan week in and week out and I followed it to a T.
Found an awesome diner that has 24 variations of pancakes (and they can even make it with whole wheat flour!)so thats where you'll find me sunday morning before hitting the treadmill :)
