    Are you trying to make us lowly mortals feel bad? Yikes! My lifetime best is 285x1, and my current best is 250x1. Enjoy being young!

    I'm chilling today. I was at a conference all week and averaging around 23K steps per day and also did some kayaking in my off-time in the evenings. Between that and a long travel day yesterday I'm pretty spent.

    Have been sick for a few days, so not much to report.

    Yesterday, I was feeling better so jumped on the elliptical for a slow and steady 45 min. My HR was higher than usual for the slow pace. I followed with some easy strength training, just to get back in the habit.

    I had plans to get up and walk early this morning (before the heat gets to level "melt your face off"), but I woke up with a migraine, so that's out. I guess I'm just not 100% yet. Maybe I'll feel better later and try for the elliptical again. Or, maybe I'll just take a nap.

    Keep up the good work everyone. I enjoy reading about all of your fitness exploits. :)

    Get well soon 🤗🤗

    I felt bad on Monday, worse on Tuesday and then better by Wed night. Felt like I was fighting off Covid again! Guess already having it 3 times does build up your immunity!

    Took Thursday off and then back on it today, just super easy cardio on the LateralX for 40 minutes. Feeling good at the moment.

    All of my 3 dogs that had caught Kennel Cough are all better now, thank goodness. Despite having all of their shots, they caught it two weeks ago (from a grooming of all things) and were really sick for around 10 days. That was so draining that I'm sure it wore on my immune system and sleep. Hard when you hear your fur babies coughing and struggling to breathe all night long.

    Helped with an on-river litter pick-up today. The river was up, so the normal places that have camps were underwater. We did collect quite a few tents that were tangled up in the brush along the banks and some other weird stuff. I found another *kitten*. Yep. I found one on the last trip, too. Very weird. My friend found a nice bicycle multi-tool in good condition and a bag of cheap rope in decent condition. Also a "Pack and Play" crib, some tires, a bunch of empty pop bottles and beer cans, a couple butane bottles, some polystyrene, and some old, waterlogged errant float toys, one of which was full-up with ants.

    I took a shower when I got home.

    River clean-ups can be interesting. My rowing coach once found a prosthetic leg.

    My second Covid test is negative. Just a rotten late Spring cold with a cough.

    44 min walk at an average speed of 4.9kmph.

    2 mins below zones
    14 mins fat burn
    27 mins cardio
    1 min peak.

    My blisters are covered in Compeed plasters and while that helped quite a lot, the soreness was still pulling me back a bit from the speed that I usually walk at.

    Caroline Girvan Iron Series Day 2 - Upper body with dumbbells, 30 mins.

    I didn't post yesterday, really technically a rest day, though I did go out in a double with a learner in our learn to row class. As with the earlier such outing, I rowed a bit to get us back on course now and then, but mostly just stabilized the boat and let her row alone. So fun and rewarding, seeing someone make changes, improve, get the hang of it!

    Today, rowing with my regular group: 6 of us, a double and quad, with me in bow of the quad; the usual 7k-ish distance, not intense - Z3 and below.

    Rowed the usual 7k-ish this morning in bow of the quad. Almost hit a fishing boat that was bogged down in the weeds; one more mistake on my part (3 strikes) and I'm going to mutiny out of rowing bow for a while. SMH.

    Tonight, coxed a quad rowed by the two official learn-to-row coaches, and two learn-to-row class participants, which went fine. No workout there; just sitting in a boat and shouting at people. (Richer clubs have "cox boxes" that connect to speakers in the boat, so the cox can use a headset to talk to the rowers. We're shoestring-y, so our coxes just shout no megaphone even. 😆)

    Then I went straight out for a 74 mins walk at an average speed of 5kmph.

    7 mins fat burn.
    62 mins cardio.
    5 mins peak.

    I'm having a rest day tomorrow, have a great day everyone and see you all on Thursday 🙂
