Dad died this evening. It is 6 weeks since his cancer came back, so at least it was relatively quick and not too drawn out. he didn't suffer too much.
I did some exercise stuff in the morning before it happened, a 6 mile walk and a kettle bell session.5 -
Day 18 EPIC I (chest & triceps). Taking a break from the treadmill for a couple of days as my knees have been hurting.1

@ Matt -- I'm very sorry for your loss. It's been 25 years since I lost my Mom this year and 15 since I lost my Dad. There isn't a day goes by I don't think about them and miss them. It simply gets a bit easier with time. I'm glad he didn't suffer much. That is a blessing. I've had it both ways with mine.
My Lucy, my only female dog, loves the outdoors. When my wife and daughter aren't home (and they weren't today), I usually put the dogs in their crates and row in the garage. Instead, I took the rower out back and rowed on the back patio again. It was like 75 and pleasant. Rowed 10K in 50 minutes. And Lucy and Linus (the two litter mates) chased after hawks that ride the air waves at the top of the ridge over our house. The hawks will catch an air drift and just look like they are hang gliding. Lovely to watch but drives my dogs absolutely bonkers as they sit effortlessly like 20 feet above my backyard. Toby's the mellow one. He just watches the other two go crazy. I swear the hawks love to torment my dogs.2 -

I'm sorry about your loss, Matt - losing a parent can be so disorienting . . . in a way like no one else, they've always been in our lives, so the world seems different when they're gone. For his and your sake, I'm glad he did not suffer at length. Sympathies to you and your extended family!3 -
22.89mi casual bike ride, easy pace (just over 10mph moving average). Glorious day for it: 70s F, sunny, very light breeze.
Stopped to watch a group of 8 white-tail deer by one of the trailside creeks, and I wasn't the only human gawker. I think there are 5, possibly 6, in this photo (the one in the unfortunate lens flare might be two) . . . in case anyone wants to play "where's white-tail Waldo?". 😉

Howdy, Pals!!
Long time, no post (again!!) I pray you all are feeling alive and vibrant this autumn.
This morning was a repeat of another (dare I say it?....YES) Team Body Project session --
another round of the latest "Knee-Friendly Workout". The coaches, Alex and Daniel, could not have released this at a more impeccable time -- the past few weeks I have been experiencing unusual knee pain and general achiness, and I have been feeling so sluggish and discouraged, but the idea of not "working out" and falling out of routine anguished me more.
SO, KEEP those "Knee-Friendly" sessions coming (do you hear me, Coaches?)!!
Find joy in movement, you All.4 -
Last night finally a longer run again, on the treadmill : 8.25km in 1h03min31sec. (fixed speed at 7.8kph).
Just creeping up in speed, glad to be making progress again, although 42% in Z4 does mean I was pushing it a bit.
A friend of my BF came by for dinner afterwards and talked about his runs, at an impressive 14 kph for longer runs and 18kph for shorter ones. Not sure if I'm ever going to get to be that fast at the rate I'm improving, perhaps by the time I'm retired, lol.4 -
Double workout today, but lower intensity:
- 20 minutes rowing - 3.5km
- 24 minutes of running - 3km2 -
No morning ride today, we had over night rain so the path would be under water in several places. Have been doing upper body stuff and will get on the spin bike this evening.2
-
Near repeat of Wednesday: Just under 8k row in bow (but the quad this time), 2.9 mile walk with one of my rowing buddies, another lunch outdoors next to the pond/fountain at the flower-filled produce market beer garden. (This could get to be a bad habit? 🤣).3

Beautiful day again today, so did a 8 X Superset workout with 500m rowing sprints between sets of shoulders, legs, chest. 50 some minutes, 750 calories. Averaged 2:01 pace on the rowing w/ 4 minutes between to do the lifting sets and rest around 60 seconds of pure rest. Used a higher Drag Factor (around 145 on the first few, then 130, then 115 at the end when I was gassed).1

Day 20 of EPIC (Dumbbell HIIT). Still avoiding the treadmill until tomorrow.2
-
I played with a 24kgs kettlebell, and then did around 12 miles walking.
It is probably selfish, but I am looking forward to when I can get back to climbing. The funeral is 9n the 12th, so it will be some time after that.

Missed yesterday's normal workout. My wife has been wanting the windows thoroughly cleaned and it took me 3 hours to do inside and out. After that, I was tuckered out.
Today, did 9K meters on the rower on the patio. A bit hot but not too bad.3 -
Came home from work after a long day and put on my pyjamas. Prepped the vegetables for dinner and put them in the oven. And then decided to do a short workout while the vegetables were cooking, so bye-bye pajamas, hello workout clothes: 15 minutes of rowing, 2783 meters. I really should do some strength training, hopefully tomorrow since I'll be working from home.5
