I woke up this morning feeling emotionally better than I have in quite a while. I think it may partially be the afterglow of a record pace bike ride last night. I think I've ridden that fast before, but only in a group. I slept well, too, as I have been lately. I think that the melatonin has been helping with that, though I wasn't sure if it would still be effective following such an intense evening ride.
It has also been over three weeks since my self-inflicted rib injury, and over two-weeks since I hurt my shoulder doing yard work. Those have both been feeling pretty good, so I decided to start easing back into weight-bearing exercises this morning. Both areas felt fine during the brief activity, but both are feeling a little twinge-y afterward. While it looks like I should take it easy for a while longer, I'm definitely going to start back into this slowly. I just have to. The once-a-week, longer aerobic routine - which has been driven as much by the weather as by my schedule - hasn't been providing what my body needs. But xfit hasn't even been an option to look into while I've been recovering from my injuries.
