haven't posted for a while, so here's a tidbit...
taro said to me last night, "from your livejournal entries, it seems like you're [emotionally] all over the place. i take that as a good sign [that you're back to normal]." i feel like i should be offended by this or something... but really it just made me feel happy that i had a friend who had me so pegged :-)
i know i've mentioned this before in my lj, but i think it bears repeating. taro is one of the awsomest human beings i know. it just always makes me happy to talk to him. he has good perspective and good insights and is a really decent person.
in other news, i had my first full practice of the season last night. it was good, but i am SO slow and not up to par at all right now. i also seem to have lost the callouses on my feet that keep me from hurting when i move like i do. so, i know have some tired, stiff muscles, a crick in my neck, and a blister on my toe. and i'm going to go do it again tonight. and i love it! i'm sure that in a couple weeks i'll be able to move quicker and more precisely again, and i'll have more endurance and more of a sense of timing/distance.
i also finished my sprint cycle today. i think it's the first time i've ever gotten through the full 4 weeks w/o skipping a day or stopping early for some reason. it feels really good to have made it! now i have to figure out some new schedule for myself. but first, i think i am going to take a week and sleep in in the morning. that'll also give my body a chance to adjust to having practices again.
nowhere to go from here but up! :-D
