GLC...your story is interesting. Are you talking about a body-building competition? I know that kind of training requires tons of energy, with the muscle-rebuilding that happens.

I know that I am capable, to some extent anyhow, of training when sore and pushing through that. What is harder is managing energy for work with energy for training. I just don't seem to have that big a capacity for getting it all done, maybe.
