Getting Back My Bearings

Over the past few weeks I have been doing little throwing practices about every other day or every three days.  After several years of not throwing I didn't want to jump into it again at a ridiculous pace.

 I usually do a short but thorough warm up of jogging stretches, static stretches, and light throws I call "Picks".  Gradually progressing from picks to one step throws and so on and so forth. 

I have noticed great improvement throughout each practice session and also keep finding new things to work on.  For example I do a good job of keeping my javelin arm straight behind me but noticed Ive developed a bad habit of flicking my wrist causing the jav to turn sideways in flight.  So, I am doing well in some areas and others need work.  Sounds like I'm a normal human being, ha ha!

All in all it feels fantastic to be throwing again!
