Crazy Tuesday
1hr pt session at the stairs with the weighted vest. Very leg heavy, serious hard work and left me with a new found respect for larger people that run. Cant believe that I used to carry more than that amount of weight around every day, no wonder I struggled with day to day living
Zumba
1 mile run. Up and down a hill dip in both directions
Insanity
Boxercise1 -
Rest day. Don't want it but will demand it.0

No worries, no concussion! The hit to the face wasn’t very hard. I’m brand new to the sport so I’m just trying to get used to the level of physicality!
Huge parental fear of mine. My son trains pretty seriously in BBJ and Muay Thai. He got "accidentally" knocked out for a second last week for the first time against his Muay Thai instructor (that is a 22-0 fighter). His BBJ partners are even better (one top 10 in the world from what he's said). My son thought it was funny. Dad not at all. He said no concussion symptoms but anytime you go lights out, even for a split second, that's serious. Be safe!
Did 5K row today at 2:13. That's a massive drop in rate for me. Feel like I'm having beginner improvements all over again. I took one day off on Sunday for Mother's Day and then played Pickleball yesterday and didn't do cardio other than that. Wasn't really pushing hard either, maybe a 7 out of 10. Also did 30 on the Assault Bike at 155 or so Watts.

Spin class at 5 am1

5.8 miles walk/run/jog/sprint. Feeling drained. Luckily I ate a block of cheese and bag of turkey sticks before I started and that fueled me well through. Backpack held up well during running/sprinting sections. 2L was just enough fluid for what I did.
I'm beyond done for the day. Soaked up tons of sun and enjoyed myself quite a bit.1 -

Yeah brain damage is no joke and getting knocked out is no good, not good at all. Concussions are actually the one reason why I'm glad my mom didn't let me play soccer because while it's not a contact sport in the same way something like Muay Thai or boxing is, brain damage from heading the ball is most definitely a thing and concussions are a heck of a lot more common than in the sports I did/do engage in.
Well done on the 5k as well. Improvements related to recovering from injury can be amazing.0 -
Nice 2.5 mile walk2

Rowed a four for a too-short while. Tonight was the annual event where my breast cancer survivors rowing team rowed together with varsity rowers from the major university team that sponsors us, before their conference championship, and our last row of the academic year. There were three fours out, mixed varsity rowers an li'l ol' ladies (at 63, I'm maybe the youngest of our team).
Imagine working out with your favorite university team, in your favorite sport, whatever that sport might be: That thrilling, that much fun!
Like most non-revenue sports, these women are in it mainly for the sport itself (any scholarship dollars are scant compensation for the time they put in): The commitment is daunting, on top of academics. Plus they're the most amazing young people you'd ever like to meet: High GPAs, into all kinds of additional activities, friendly, kind . . . a perfect antidote to "kids these days" myths.
So fun!

Wednesday
Early morning sprints with PT
4.5 mile build up run - was supposed to start slow then increase pace through run. Started too fast but managed negative splits through mile 2-4.5
Chest - still benching more than I'm squatting but less than before I took a break. Pyramids up to 45kg which I amraped at 5. Usual accessory stuff but added in some decline press ups, was surprised at how much more my core was involved. Only did a few this time 5/6/7/8 going to work up to 3 sets of 10 and then increase the angle.
Zumba still see this more as fun than exercise1 -
First learn to scull class. We didn't actually go out on the water in full today which makes sense I suppose. We went over the structure of the class, talked about the shells, discussed the roles of the seat positions, practiced arm positioning on the ergs, practiced squaring and feathering, etc. After that we took a quad down, got in, and practiced going from the catch to the finish while on and then just barely off the dock (close enough for our coach to keep hold of the stern of the shell).
I think it'll be a good class and the progression after this is up to the development group which is coached by one of my favorite coaches which I'm pleased about. I'll also probably take erging down to once a week once that happens, but we'll see.
Swimming: 1,300 yards mostly freestyle.3 -
6K on the rower today @ 2:14 or so/23 SPM. Rest of the hour on the Assault Bike.
@ Ann - I always like reading about OTW experiences. I'm jealous! One of the guys in my Indoor Online club posts pictures of his son rowing in a single in Northern Idaho. That would my field of dreams rowing. It's so incredibly beautiful.2 -
