10 hours to go before we board a plane for a 10 hour flight to Tokyo, then a 9 hour flight to Seattle. Best bit of all this… I’m not even packed yet. Joy.

I’ve had to ease up/stop practice for a few days again, I re-activated that nuisance back issue of mine. The right erector spinae is completely tensed up and I have no time for a remedial massage before I go. I’ve been surviving on my massage ball, but I don’t know what I’m going to do on the plane.

My hamstrings are somewhat screaming at me too. I have to take so much care in warming them up properly. Maybe it’s good that I’m taking a break for a few days.

Well, Seattle here I come…
