Monday - an announcement requiring all participants for the upcoming race to be at Monday training arrived late Sunday afternoon. Thus how I ended up on the water that evening. (Only to learn on site that whatever important announcement that it was could just have just been over the group chat) But I digress. It was a good session with beautiful weather too, so all good. Tuesday - my actual dragon boat training day. The performance wasn't as good and it shows in the video. Alas, there are good days and not so good days. We move on. Wednesday - as promised, strength day. Upped to the bigger weight for the tricep & bicep workouts. Those dumbbells were slow-moving as I fought gravity through the movement. Also, I need to switch to single-leg RDLs (or something else) because I've maxed out on the conventional style with my dumbbell. Gonna try the single leg variation next strength day because I know I have balancing issues. Everything feels a wee bit better now that the blood cycle has passed. Today's joy: I wore that one dress that I had put away for a while because I didn't like how I looked in it - it fits so much better now and I was feeling bonita 😊 hehe

From recovery mode to beast mode. I have been recovering the past few weeks and actually a couple of months. Feeling great and this morning attacked my leg workout. Felt great and was able to push forward and out of recovery mode. The workout endorphins have been great today and body feeling good. I can feel that I worked out, but not over sore. This is exactly what I need to get back to managing my day to day stresses. I love my workout time!
