back to blogging? or switching sports?

This season I qualified and was training for the tested powerlifting national championships in July and the IPL tested world championships in November. I asked my coach to let me push harder this year in training. He said he thought that was a bad idea but he'd program it if I wanted him to. Well apparently it was a bad idea, just like he said. I got my first two lifting related injuries. Nothing terrible. A pulled glute and a pulled oblique. They were bad enough I had to bail out of the national championships. I still had time to train have a good showing at worlds though. But when I was fully healed and got back to training I found I was severely burned out with powerlifting. So after about a month of contemplating I decided to switch sports top training for the 1500 meter, or mile track and field meet. It's not too terribly out of the blue. I competed in the 2018 and 2019 New Mexico games track and field 100, 200, and shotput taking 2nd, 3rd, and 1st respectively. 

One thing I noticed was blogging about powerlifting was BORING! But for done reason blogging about endurance athletics I have always enjoyed. Now that I started endurance athletics again I guess I'll start blogging again. 

45-49 tested and non-tested

I'm aging up to the 45-49 age group in November. I'm pretty excited to age up because I've never been able to make the qualifying totals for the USPA non-tested national championships in the 40-44 age group. I'm strong enough to qualify for the non-tested in the 45-49 age group. So if things continue as well as they are now I'll be qualifying for and competing in both the tested and non-tested national championships next year.
