April Fools! I didn't quit. Today was a recovery day (and I wanted to watch the Artemis launch...) so I didn't do a formal workout. I did get a massage though!

🏋️ Supplemental Work

Deep tissue massage! First one I've ever had, focused on shoulders, low back, and general back tightness.

I think it definitely helped, I am trying a different massage therapist next week to kind of sample it.


📝 Reflections

  • Mental State: Tired, I ended up taking a ~2hr nap from 4-6pm

  • Lesson learned: Mental check in: anything is better than scrolling
