    I'll probably be on my rowing machine for a little over half hour and I may take my dog for a pretty long walk :)

    Technically a rest day but it is deep clean day at home, so manually scrubbing the floor, walls and wood work.

    Interval Day! 5 x 1 Mile Intervals with a 1 minute rest @ 7:45 minute mile. 2 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down.

    I still live near my old high school, it's still a trip to go back there and get on the track. Today I actually went inside to get some water. Haven't seen the inside in 18 years, it looked exactly the same. Still a picture of our Senior 7's Rugby team on the wall outside the gym (even though we never won a single match).

    Yay! Finally ran again - first time since I started cycling to and from work. Cheated - had my wife drop me off at work under the guise of buying her a Starbucks en route.

    T-Mill tempo run between 6-8mph - 2.7miles in 25min.

    Will cycle home.

    cheers

    Well this changed slightly - my wife had a late mtg so I decided to cycle all the way home. 10.16 miles with a climb of 772ft. Earned my after work beer.

    15min of yoga before the dog full out tackled me while I was in heroes pose. Knocked me flat on my back. It's only a mini Schnauzer!

    Got a ride in to work - will cycle home - well to the rendezvous point. 5 miles.

    ^^^^ Awwww! My girl dog thinks it's snuggle time every time I pull out the yoga mat. Her version of "down dog":

    I had to skip my workout, because I didn't get home until after midnight last night. I worked on my rest day, so I'm not worried about the overage. Tonight is upper body B, week 7.

    Well then - yesterday didn't go as planned at all - ended up being a rest day.

    However today is a new day! NROL Hypertrphy 1B med weight, med rep - however ran out of time so only managed the squats and deadlift shrugs 4 reps of 10.

    But it looks like I'm riding all the way home again today - so there's that. Depending on whether the call of beer is deafening at the end of the ride, I'll try to complete this am's workout.

    Felt super sluggish this morning, so I did stationary bike intervals while reading a magazine. Have lots of gardening, cleaning, and packing for vacation to do after work today, (half day getting off at 1 - hopefully!) so I will count that as "exercise" too :)

    This might sound silly but forgive me if it does.
    Got a recommended calorie intake of 1600 calories , which is mostly fine. But I'm doing more excercising now I feel healthier - nearly everyday I end up eating the recommended amount and still having a similar amount to spare.
    Yesterday took the dog for a walk and then spent 3 hours in the garden mainly digging. But a pal has just told me that although I ended up with more than 2000 spare I'd probably put my body into starvation mode if I continue like that
    Is she right ???

    No such animal as starvation mode. Eat back 1/2 of your exercise calories to compensate for inaccuracies in the "calorie burned" amounts but enough to keep your energy up. If you feel healthier, you probably are!

    30 min yoga this am - the dog was most cooperative!

    Will cycle home.

    Friday's ride all the way home was hellish - 12.5 miles and a climb of 930ft (includes my driveway!) Calves cramped totally twice. :laugh: Got a little DOMS from that today.

    Lower body B. I have to log it as upper, though, because I had a brain fart and logged yesterday as lower. Derrrr.

    Did a 15.2km ride on my mountain bike (but on footpaths) with an average speed of 17.4km/h and a max of 32.4km/h in 52:25.

    Feel quite happy about this as the exact same ride last week took me 57:12 with an average speed of 16km/h with a max of 33.8km/h.

    I went rock climbing. I think the time on the rock added up to around 20 minutes.
    I even lead my first climb!! It was only a 5-8
