What Was Your Work Out Today?

Yesterday I dropped off a friend by the river. She paddled a dozen miles and camped. This morning I put in about two miles above her camp and met her and paddled the rest of the 18 miles on out to our take-out. Along the way, I collected a garbage bag full of refuse. We stopped for lunch to find an abandoned fire "ring" with some half-burned plastic bowls and other half-burned chit. There were three cans of "Campbell's Chunky Beefy Mac" that hadn't even been opened, plus a nearly full jar of onion dip, and empty can of salsa, and some other random trash. Like a disposable razor. Then I found a garbage bag that had been filled but just stashed under a log. Really? Yep. So we hauled that out. We also found a small pet carrier that had a pair of shoes in it. Got that too....

At the take-out, we came across two people who needed to get back to their vehicle. They had done a two-day overnight trip and were planning to use Uber to get their car back. They couldn't get a ride, so we saved them a hundred bucks and gave one a ride back to a place that people can leave cars secure for five bucks a day. Bonus. River people are good people.

I might paddle again Wednesday to help the same friend celebrate a birthday. Tomorrow - dive shift at the aquarium.

Bit sore from spin class yesterday so did some elliptical to loosen up, then went for my usual full body routine. Did some squats and hip mobility but didn't go too hard on lower body. Did some bridges with weights and lots of upper arms - tricep curls, rows, overhead dumbbell press. Finished with 45 minutes of yin yoga. Felt really good to get everything stretched out. Am feeling very motivated the past few days after being under the weather but not going to push it, tomorrow is a planned rest day and will stay a rest day! I am starting to see results from a good 6 months of consistency so I think that's where the extra motivation has come from.

Yesterday: a quick run on the TM, 20 mins. I'm getting over a sinus infection I've had for 6 wks and getting back into things slowly.

Well.... failed SCUBA dive at the aquarium. My suit flooded again. I think the zipper is broken. We had one important task to do, and we did that, then I got out after less than ten minutes. Bummer.

I did get to observe some other operations that were going on top-side that I had never experienced, so there's that.

On the way home, I took the long way up a different highway that adds maybe 30 miles to the trip. I went that way so I could go climb steep hills through blackberry brambles to look for chanterelles. I hiked for about 90 minutes, very slowly, climbing over wet logs and through all kinds of brush. I found two false chanterelles and two actual chanterelles. I only took the edible ones. No lobster mushrooms. No boletes. Nothing else. Just some quality time working up a sweat in a smelly old Capeline top and a very leaky raincoat. It's leaky because I use it only for this kind of job - thorns have poked so many holes in it. Yeah, it's a hobby I guess.

Might be paddling tomorrow to celebrate a birthday, then on Saturday will row some passengers down about 15 miles on a local river in a raft.

Scheduled gym day today but really wasn't feeling it this morning. Very rarely cry off from planned sessions but I did today I did some yoga instead and have also been for an hour's walk this afternoon.

I do tend to beat myself up when I miss a gym session, and I don't know why, definitely something I need to work on!

Sunny and near record warmth this afternoon. 84 degrees at the start of our ride. Three of us went 21 miles at a 17mph pace. The foliage is starting to really change. Hoping for a few more rides before the leaves are down.

AnnPT77

More rowing in bow of the double, maybe 1k farther than usual. Lovely day, flat water, and colors starting to change here, too.

Mushroom hunting. Just a few miles of stomping around. No really steep hills. No bashing my way through blackberry brambles. No rain. No mud. Even the brush was dry! Just a nice few hours in the forest looking for fungus. Found some, too. One big lobster and a half dozen nice chanterelles. My friend found some too.

I’m currently doing a Beachbody program called Liift More— it’s a combination of weight training and hiit exercises. I do that 5x a week and run anywhere between 3-7mi a day depending on the weather and how much time I have. Yesterday was back/triceps/hiit and today is glutes/hamstrings and then walking a 5.5mi loop with my kids this evening.

My workout today was 45 minutes on treadmill
Another 45 minutes working on my chest and back

laurachambers86

Yesterday and today I was pushed for time due to work, so yesterday all I could manage was a pilates bar workout and today I did a core/glute pilates workout. Been getting my steps in as much as possible too.

Was meant to work tomorrow but it's been cancelled so will take the opportunity to get to the gym.

Still rowingRowingRowing, bow of the double, pretty easy pace since we were trying to keep an eye on the single that was out with us.

Water and air are getting cooler, plus there was a light but sharp breeze first thing. The rower platitude for racing singles is "it's not IF you flip, it's WHEN you flip". Cold is dangerous, and in the double we can help single rowers if they do so. (Racing singles are about 12" (30.5cm) wide at the waterline, 26 feet (8m) long . . . tippy.

It was a beautiful morning, though cool, and the row felt especially relaxed (good) and smooth for some reason today. In rowing, it's important to relax all the parts that aren't contributing to the work, so this was good.

Took a spin class this morning, the first one I've done in over a year. It kicked my butt. I needed that.

yirara

Did a short walk up a steep hill and back to the car, just about 6km in total. My garmin watch decided to award me 641kcal for this! Yeah, my HR was high, as it usually is when I walk uphill, but.. but.. Anyway, had a lot of fun.

laurachambers86

Full body workout in the gym this morning, my usual split of 4 lower body/4 core/4 arm exercises. All the machines had been moved around in the gym so I was very confused for a while!

Monday
Climbing. A training session. I was terrible, but the session was fun

Wednesday
A new yoga place has opened near me, so I did an hour.

Thursday
Climbing. It was fun; I was in form. I got a load of new projects. I also got a 6b+ graded one, which is quite rare for me at this gym. It was an utterly terrifying slab.

Saturday
Climbing. Another very good session, with a mixture of successes on scary slab an thought overhangs. Some of them were grade v4, but I think they were easier than that.

Sunday is meant to be horse riding day but pony is still a bit lame so we did 40 minutes of long lining instead. Then I went to the gym, warmed up with elliptical and then did a combo of machines and weights. Tried to focus more on core and arms today as will be cycling partway to work the next two days so thought I'd give lower body a rest.

I rowed about 13 miles. It was a "Fall Color Float" with a local club. Since it was a day trip, I wasn't carrying a kitchen, camping gear, or food. I had room for a couple passengers. They had fun. It was a gobsmackingly gorgeous day.

Yeah, it's a lot of boat for a day trip, but it's what I have. It does let me take people that otherwise couldn't get down a whitewater river, so maybe that's worth it.

laurachambers86

Cycled partway to and from work today approx 10k total.

AnnPT77

More rowing, bow of the quad for me, sharp breeze and temps in the 40F (maybe 5-6C). Kept the pace moderate, newer rower in the boat still learning some basic technique. We did some technical drills for things that were needing it.

I was in a quad rowing shell on Saturday, but as a coxswain for the club's Fall color row. The only workout was lungs/vocal cords, because we don't have a cox box (amplification system for coxswain's calls). Gotta yell, sitting at one end of a 44-foot (13.4m) boat, so all 4 rowers can hear. (No, we don't say "stroke, stroke, stroke' . Like not ever.)

Cardio: Elliptical, one hour, hills - 812 calories

Lifting:
Bench Press 5x5 (Last set 10 reps)
Cable Row 5x5

Left elbow's sore, and my schedule is still wonky, but should return to normal in just a couple weeks. So I'm laying off lifting for a couple weeks, only getting a bare minimum amount to maintain where I'm at.

5 sets curls(barbells and/or free weights)

Dragged myself to the gym last night and got in 20 minutes on the elliptical plus a little walking.

I went climbing for 3 hours, and accidentally also got 11 miles walk in. It was fun, I was powerful and found a kneebar that let me conformably hang upside down for long enough to rest. (My knee was on the ceiling, I was hanging vertically below it.)
