Training Day Two Hundred Fifty Five

This was the first workout since all the stress in my life took a turn for the better, and it felt great. It didn't necessarily mean that I didn't have a busy day; quite the contrary, I've had a lot of errands to take care of. However, the constant pressure of having to finalize my c-level paper wasn't there anymore, and that came as a great psychological relief for me. It was with that very feeling that I entered the gym today for a back workout.

# Workout Notes:
It was definitely noticeable in today's performance that the mental pressure was gone. Yet again I felt strong, powerful and willing to perform at the gym. In fact, it's not only the performance at the gym that has bettered, it's also my whole mood and persona. I can yet again laugh and afford myself to engage in meaningless conversations without having to worry about time and consequences. It feels great being back to my normal, functioning self.
