one more week
of long hours at work before I go back to my normal roster. I’ve been taking it very easy for the past couple of weeks, making sure I’m getting enough rest and recovering properly between shifts. It’s meant I’ve been able to train less intensely and less frequently, but hey, this is the first time I’ve managed these kinds of hours in three years so I’m kind of...

the times, etc.
I’m finally clear of the debt I built up over the course of being injured and recovering. I’ve been through all kinds of hell and ennui the past three years, and slowly but surely all the things I want to do are slowly but surely edging forward. Soon: two weeks up north with no company but me, my favourite dog in the world and awfulings awfulings awfulings. I’m fairly excited...

to review:
I’ve devoured the course material for the second module - which is more practically applied exercise science, rather than the straight anatomical study of the first - and it’s all coming to me very easily largely because of the amount of research I’ve put in myself over the past couple of years.
