Notes - Writing this on Wed evening.  Interesting.  Felt pretty damn shitty waking up Tuesday morning.  Had a mentally stressful day at work, churning through some difficult client challenges.  Was on the run all day Monday it felt like after my training, didn't eat lunch until like 5pm!  What a joke.  I should have suspected I might pay for it Tuesday.  And didn't sleep all that well Monday night. So I dragged in the morning Tuesday big time. I just don't think I have much recovery capacity built up right now, it tells me I have to continue to really monitor my training, keep it to the barest minimum right now.  So I just did some basic movement exercises and KB warm ups in the morning and called it a day.  I actually felt great though in the evening and went for a walk around Greenlake in nice 70 degree weather.  These walks are fantastic.  Walking briskly, stride feels great and powerful.  Most of these walks I take off my shoes and walk barefoot in the grass.  I think it is great.  I am going to do this as much as I can all summer.  Also had an body work appointment in the afternoon which went well.  Dave worked on my neck a lot, scalenes, and also under my armpits, obliques.  Kind of hurt like a bitch at times but body work sometimes does.  Dave was commenting my posture is getting much better, hips and everything else is getting much more in alignment, shoulders are back and less rounded, body is more opened up.  I feel this is the case as well from the movement exercises and the walking.  I need to keep that up. Even though I don't feel 100% by any means I think some good things are occurring underneath the surface.
