Today was the final day of preparing people for testing. I woke up early and did normal cycle workouts. Work was pretty straightforward if not once again harder than it was last week. Great news: my knee isn't bugging me so much when I do my stretching anymore! Not so great news: my ankle is once again in a lot of pain similar to earlier in the summer. I hope it's better tomorrow. Anyway, I am anticipating being able to make some progress in a breaking routine and a creative form once I can get an hour or two just by myself to do a bit of training. I hope I can find some time to get somewhere to do that.
