My body is rebelling against me right now. I've got aches and pains in my knees and hips and my back is sore most days. I don't know if it's the changes in my supplements, years of wear or recently reduced training that has things a mess. The discomfort has me questioning my future plans but for now, I'm going to try to keep the focus on ramping up my training as I consider things.
