What Was Your Work Out Today?

20' yoga and stretching before breakfast.
In afternoon, 4.8mi walk at 3.8mph. More seasonal weather had returned, temps in upper 30s F, wind chill around freezing because windy. Looked like snow/rain would hold off; thankfully it did.
Early evening, about 33' stationary bike, easy pace, including the CD.1 -
I do seem to have taken up running. I'm doing a mild progressive overload - I'll add a couple of minutes each time until I reach 5k.
I did 2.2k yesterday, in 14 minutes, which is a pace of 6 minutes 28 second. (I find pace a bit of a strange unit for running - I prefer speed. But my Fitbit gives me pace. Mixing units, I think this was 6 miles an hour, so pretty slow.)1 -
Yesterday I did legs. I would appreciate thoughts if this is too much volume from my weightlifting friends. I had planned to just see if my legs could recover in time for my DL session 3 days after this session. BW 105lb, BF 17-18%. I am currently running PHUL and this is my heavy strength day, with quad/glute focus. Hypertrophy day is my DL session, with focus on hamstrings (although I go heavy on DLs and lighter for the rest).
Squats 100lb 5x5
Hip Thrust 185lb 3X8
Bulg Split squat 25lb DB in each hand 3X6

I'm not a dedicated enough lifter to comment, but you are very strong for your weight.
Today was supersetting day for me. Rowing 250m sprints, five minutes between, doing supersetting between. An hour total workout.2 -
Pulled the engine out of my wakeboard boat over the weekend. May not sound like much, but climbing in and out of a good sized boat on a trailer, hour...after hour...after hour for three days (not to mention all the wrenching and lifting) was something of a workout. Can't believe it, but re-injured my shoulder (I wasn't even using that arm at the time). I think the AC joint has finally let loose. Dr. this Thursday and we'll go from there. Up at 5AM for some cardio, but shoulder said "No way dude". Damnit.2

1 hour 40 minutes hiking with my dog. 4.5 Miles with 1300' of Elevation gain.2
-
30 minute walk and 30 minutes with a personal trainer.1
-
20' or so of yoga/stretching.
5329m rowing machine.
Couple random sets of side leg raises and hanging knee raises.1 -
I got 20,000 steps in, and then did a bit of lifting.
I hangboarded, which went well. I then did finger curls (3 sets of 5, 60 kgs). I finished with benching (3 sets of 7, 50 kgs).
My Dad learned he is in remission, so it was a very good day. He only had two chemo sessions left.2 -

Wednesday
My running experiment continued, together with the mild progressive overload I'm doing. I did a walk (maybe 6 or 7 miles?), and then finished it off by running home.
My Fitbit reckons I did 3.09 km in 20 minutes 39 seconds, for a pace of 6 minutes 41 seconds (I guess in minutes per km units).
I should get my first 5k in the next few days. I have no idea what sort of time is good for an old man who's never run before - I am thinking 30 minutes is a good guess, and in line with my current pace.
Thursday
I did 70 minute's yoga before lunch. Hopefully I can get a climb in later.
My colleagues seem to like setting up meetings over lunch, so the logistics are non-trivial.2
