A little slippy under foot on a couple but felt ok overall.

Stretches
Hip Flexors – Feeling better today.
Might need to get a thicker pad for my knees!

Toe Touch – Did 2 rounds.
Back of the knees feeling the most stretch. Not a massive fan of how that feels but the whole chain feels better after.

Summary

No major problems today.

No problems.

Delightful as usual.

Stretches.

Hip Flexors 3×20 seconds.

Hip flexor stretch feeling better today.
Opposite for the toe touch. Not as much stretch as yesterday. Proximity to the wall seems to prevent getting a full stretch into the hamstring.

Not too bad today.
