My favourite massage therapist has been away travelling in India for six weeks! And he just got back! So of course I rushed to see him. His approach is basic Swedish with Ayurvedic and Yogic elements combined. Meaning...he kneads and stretches the living hell out of me. And although at times it can be uncomfortable even painful, the overall experience is soothing, relaxing and elongating. Ooooohhhhh!
Day after I am feeling like a new man. And although my back is still not at 100% it is getting closer and closer!
I DID NOT GET TO THE POOL YESTERDAY! :(
I am having to reinvent my schedule to re-introduce working out/training. I have been out of the habit for so long that I am not used to putting time into my calendar to make these things happen.
In just a little while, I am having my first session with a Performance Coach. Someone who does counselling/coaching with athletes. I am very excited. I am eager to get back into training and also avoid overtraining and hurting myself...physically and emotionally/mentally. There have been impacts of this time-off on my psyche and self-confidence. I don't want those to limit me anymore than they have to AND anymore than I am already challenged by the physical demands of tri-sport/ironman training...given my age and years of being overweight/out-of-shape and sedentary.
SO...onwards and upwards...I will report in later/tomorrow on my first session!!!!
