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

Obstacles: I'm not sure, I ended up scrolling a lot which was really not helping
Lesson learned: Mental check in: anything is better than scrolling
