So, yesterday I ended up doing my gazelle and finally got some kettlebell sets done. When I'm feeling too meh to paddle, it's probably smart to stay off the water where something stupid could happen. Today, I did get my paddle in, and ended up doing about 4.6 miles in 93 minutes...just over 20 min/mile splits. I was thinking about going farther, but a fisherman asked me for the time and since I had to stop to check my watch, I opted to collapse on my board. But I should be in good shape for my 4 mile race on Saturday. Tomorrow is a rest day...riding 8 or so hours to get to the race location up in the panhandle of FL. Going to be fun since it's a girls' weekend at the beach. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

I signed up for my first 5K. It's on Aug. 21st in Huntington Beach. I'm a little tired this morning but I'm taking the dog out for a run anyway. I was thinking about waiting until Thursday but then again there's no time like the present right?
I have jury duty next week and if I get called in I may not get much exercise so I figure I better make the most of this week!2 -
Lol, I'd prefer to not get seated at all but I'll do it if I have to. Only been on one before and he was definitely guilty!1 -

I have a "get out of jury duty for free" card.0 -
Me, too, until I retire. I play the doctor, can't leave my patients hanging card and they always let me out. My husband showed up with a big peace sign necklace and they quickly decided they had enough people. You might try that Lulu, lol.1

Lol Jen, I definitely could do a "hippie" vibe. That just might work1

How was the race?
Thanks for asking. I was pretty happy with my time - 19 min / mile = 76 min for the 4 mile race on a rental SUP Surf board (11'), and I never took a break during the race which I thought I might have to do (I sometimes get foot cramps at about 45 minutes into paddling). Came in 6 out of 8 in my board category, but if they would have split us out by age, I probably would have hit the podium in 3d as one of the 50+ "masters". One of my friends made it to the podium in 2d against the youngsters, so that was good. My friends and I had fun, and we plan to go back next year. It was a great venue on the river for those of us in the shorter races. I actually got to race one of my other local buddies in at the finish, but he was in the 9 mile race that started on the gulf side. He "just" edged me out...lol. He came in 3d in his race for his board category. So the folks from my local area gave a good showing for our 8+ mile drive up to the panhandle of FL...and we all had fun. Even got a nice rain shower about half way through the race, which cooled us slow pokes off (my 2d place friend only got sprinkles whereas those of us behind her got a full blown downpour). Sun came out later, and we all got to enjoy the river and the gulf beaches. It was a great weekend!1 -
I hit a target I've been working towards for two years, a 315 pound deadlift. Not a big deal for the grain-fed monsters on my powerlifting forum, but for a 60 year old geezer with a re-built heart, it's a milestone.

You are amazing Farback!1

Thanks guys. This has been a major target for me since I started lifting with a purpose two years ago. I'm now working toward 225 bench, 315 squat, 405 deadlift before I quit1

Spin class. Now the facility fully books each class - they used to keep a few bikes for walk-ins but they don't anymore. It's a lot of fun when the class is crowded and loud !!!1

That sounds like fun. They have a spin class at 5:30 am on Wed. at my gym but it's never very crowded. I'm at the gym that early and it's pretty quiet most days, but I bet the spin classes later in the morning or evening are more crowded.
What time do you take your class?0 -
Mondays and Wednesdays I spin at 7:30. On Friday, I do the Interactive class, The Pursuit, which starts at 7:15.
Today I went on the Board - I haven't competed since I fell down in December - and I am proud to say that I didn't come in last !!! And my stats were good !!!1 -
Kudos! Well done!0

It's been a long summer. Through landscaping projects (lost sleep/stress), unexpected issues to deal with (camper/stress), and recovery from elective surgery (meds that encourage weight gain), I gained 12 pounds. The landscaping is done, the camper repaired and the doctor has given the green light to resume all normal activities.
Today, I look forward to super cleaning the kitchen, catching up on some home office work, pulling a bunch of weeds in the yard/garden and planting a few seeds for fall. I have lost 2 of the 12 pounds. This week should be much more back to normal (whatever that is) life.
