Notes - Good day today, in some ways, at least in terms of how my body felt in the morning.  Had to go to bed late last night due to getting materials ready for the mediation appt today with Jill, but slept ok, had to sleep in a bit though.  Hung out with the kids while I did my FMS and other mobility work.  Definitely quite tight in the quads and hips, this is from sprinting on Sunday.  The sprint work is something I am going to have to get used to.  I wonder if 10 1-minute sprints, which is what I did, is a bit much.  Certainly nothing more is needed.  I did some lacrosse ball and foam roll and certainly that helped.  Interestingly enough, I don't think the heavy volume of KB lifts on Monday had too much of a negative impact in terms of recovery, which is a great sign.  I did some light TGUs, overhead position felt very good, did a few SL DLs as those tend to be very good for my back and just sort of lining everything up, and those felt good too.  Jill and I had our mediation appt at 3pm this afternoon.  Certainly that was not easy and it has been weighing heavily on my mind leading up to today.  All things being equal, it did "go well" and we have another one in two weeks.  Just trying to keep moving forward.  I took an extra long walk around Greenlake afterwards to clear my head.  It was beautiful, and a very nice walk.  I am sitting here at 9pm and completely drained and exhausted.  Time to go to bed early.
