I woke up feeling surprisingly light today. Walking was easy. Moving felt natural. It’s strange after such a heavy session yesterday. I keep trying to understand the logic of recovery, and just when I think I’m close to cracking the code, it surprises me again.
Kids went to school and I went back to work. I felt motivated, but the day came with problems related to the system we’re implementing. That brought some stress, and stress is not welcome here.
I decided to go to the gym to reset. A back session, short but effective. Not much time today, but enough to clear my head.
Later, I went to the club to meet the kids. I pushed my luck a bit playing with my middle one. Staying still, he uses it to his advantage and wins. It’s fun to play with him. Totally worth the risk, but I know I need to be careful. There’s still a long way to go.
Back home, dinner with the kids, then a quick fifteen minute massage. We talked about injuries, about patience, and relaxed a bit.
Early sleep tonight.
Tomorrow, I’m taking the kids out of São Paulo.
