Returning to work after a break never quite feels as good as I expect it will. I was conscious of that at the gym this morning during a weight session. Just felt like I was dragging a bit. I felt better as the day went on and followed through with my plans to take a swim after work. I never really enjoy PM workouts unless it's a run or a ride but I'm glad I fit it in today.
I picked up a few tips on drills from this website. I'm not sure why I haven't done any of these before but I have to confess that I learned more in the pool in one hour today than I have in the past month. Maybe things are starting to click but I really noticed that my sense of balance in the water is improving which makes things more fluid. I had a blast and I'm looking forward to more in the coming weeks.
Just read an interesting article on barefoot running, written by this guy. Anton's blog is one that I like to check up on now and again. He espouses a minimalist approach that I can relate to and appreciate. And he's an amazing athlete and talented writer, in my opinion. I've got mixed opinions on barefoot running and tend to agree that it's more a tool for personal exploration than a running ideal.
Looking forward to an extended commute into work tomorrow after nearly a week off my bike.
