Thinking about Dave and the process of recuperation got me thinking about where we are and about the genius of Higdon's program. Because we were working towards a Memorial Day peak, and because of where the Boilermaker fits into the schedule, we are actually ahead of where we would be if we were starting from our ordinary base. The brilliant part is that Higdon contemplates that there will be time needed for recovery and builds that in: there are a lot of weeks that are designed to be rest weeks, so catching up after a hiatus is something that can be pretty easily accomplished. There are plenty of times when I think about how far there is to go, but that's probably the wrong way to approach it: week by week this is very attainable.
