Vicenza was a nice trip…
Dejan left today.
I think I resumed normal training again 
And thankfully, the sky cleared up, and for the first time in days, it was not extremely cloudy or rainy all day. :eek:
(all grass today, in trainers - trail shoes, to be exact…)
-
15min warm up jog
-
10min dynamic stretching
-
4 x 30m A skips
-
4 x 20m running A’s + 40m stride
-
4 x 30m scissor kicks + 60m stride
-
8 x ~37m hills (walk back recovery) - slippery… spikes next time for this and the following (I bought nice new long ones, for grass)
-
4 x 100m (at decent speed), walk back recoveries (spikes next time, on grass again)
-
3 x 100m low dorsiflexing skips (Charlie showed me this exercise, I don’t know the name for it, I should post a video, but i don’t have a video camera now…)
-
push ups, abs, and resistance bands
-
30min EMS resistance, on glutes
-
3 times 20min relaxing massage on calves (I had an issue today, but it’s already solved now ;))
Nice email today, from a professor… first kind word from a higher faculty member since I got here… (I can say that my experience here has been “cold”). She said (in email of course, cause people don’t have the guts to speak nicely out loud) “you are a very good architect and student”.
This was so uncharacteristic of my experience here, that it goes in the journal… imagine that.
Pardon the slight sarcasm.
And to dwell on something that I had quoted from Angella Coon a while back, and that I found highly refreshing today… :
"LIfe is long ( we hope) and ideally we never stop learning. Nothing beats passion as a guide to navigate truth. The only judge you need to pay any attention to is you." - Angela Coon
Thank you, Ange.
