I'm doing some tests but I have a strong suspicion that the constant soreness in my right lower back is due to how I sleep. I sleep on one side and was favoring the left side, a few days ago I went back to using both sides and the soreness seems to be improving :)

Of all the various exercises I've tried to do as soon as I wake up to stretch, the 5 Tibetan Rites are definitely the best, gentle but at the same time effective :)

I wanted to train more but I was still tired from the Muay Thai training where we did some interesting preparatory exercises for weight lifting and then I wasted time in the morning :LOL:
Anyway, since I really liked having a monthly challenge, today I'm starting another one :)

Since the temperatures are starting to drop, it seemed right to do the Winter Is Here Workout :LOL:

The first half hour of last night's workout was pretty tough, so today I'm going to do a light mobility and stretching workout as active recovery :)
Giving myself a full day of active recovery between heavy workouts is working well, the factor I have always underestimated (recovery) is making a big difference in my current training routine.

@neilarey 's new checking in training log has given me some food for thought on mine, so I'll mull it over a bit and make a few plans.
There are a few things I'm really happy about in the last few months, both in terms of my training and beyond.
I have managed to combine Muay Thai, Darebee training and the gym in a healthy way.
The Muay Thai course is my window to the world, it's good for me to get out of the house, it's good for me to train in a nice group of people and it's good for me to get out of my comfort zone in training.
It's the social part of my training.
I also really like that there are no more exams, after having practiced Karate, Kendo, Iaido and Aikido for 25 years going from one training for one exam to another with the only difference after the black belt that the times got longer, it is really a relief to practice for the pleasure of doing it and that's it.
I also like that martial arts training includes a whole part of athletic preparation which I find very interesting.
I love Darebee's training, after I quit Aikido it saved me, not only did I maintain my training but I improved it and I can't be grateful enough :thankyou:
Most of all it allowed me to take responsibility for my training, which I now appreciate even more.
I like to experiment, mess around a bit, mull over, plan and start over again, it's good for the mind and body.
I've made peace with the gym, it will never be my favorite workout but it's a good extra if done sensibly.
So after having taken stock of my training from now on I will also talk about other things, this is a good place to share what goes through my head, which is good for me given my particularly introverted character and my withdrawn life.

The most important thing I've learned about life is to prune.
As we get older, fewer and fewer new things come in and those that are no longer needed don't come out.
So every now and then you have to do some cleaning, even of habits that are no longer useful :)

I am definitely more introspective than active, my activity is mainly mental :LOL
Working out balances my laziness with an activity that I like and that is good for me, my trick is to find something that I like and enjoy doing, which is constantly changing :)

I have always thought of "progress" as a continuous improvement well represented by a straight line that goes up.
Now it seems more like a wave to me and improvement is simply change, if you don't change you stop growing but there is no predefined direction :)

The wind was "moderate gale" last night.
So I mostly listened to the ancient roof of our house banging :eyes:
It didn't do any harm, except my anxiety :LOL:
However... the words "moderate" and "gale" do not go together.
