Refresher Days

In between camp sessions the toils of work, stresses of searching for work, and “making hay” when work is available,  I find I tend to bog down towards the end of the week. At these times I find that a “refresher” day is needed. These refresher days usually consist of taking a day (or afternoon) off from regimented training and the worries of money-making by preoccupying myself with something I enjoy and don’t get to do often. These activities can be as simple as taking a walk through the woods with some field guides, cracking open a book for the afternoon, or spending some time with my family. My most recent family fun days included a trip to Vertical Endeavors in Duluth,

and a visit to the Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward after competing in the Lumberjack Days running race.

These short mental breaks end up working wonders for training motivation!

Forget all those other little fishies.....I want to grill THIS one!
