Faced a very similar challenge - I've been "architecting" solutions for the last 2-3 years. At my company this means very minimal coding - "spikes", education, code reviews. As days go by the feeling of "loosing touch" is creeping in and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad sign.
Took on a small side project and was shocked how hard it became to get into that type of thinking (apparently designing and implementing are not the same skills!).
My thoughts - it's great to do that every once in a while to stay in shape and not loose touch, especially if it can be paired with learning a new technology or concept. Might be a waste of time otherwise.

Depends on what you're doing at your job I guess.
