    Rest day, it was absolutely necessary. Tomorrow may also be a rest day. We shall see.

    Walk for exactly one hour at a local park - 3.70 miles. Was supposed to be another rest day but made a "business decision" that a walk would be good for my body and mind, and it was.

    Hey @pierinifitness ! Yes, definitely! I have a lower mileage week this next week; so I'll be taking it easy and running a bit slower than my normal easy running pace.

    I had a very good row on very flat water this morning. 90min in an 8 with rowers who are far more advanced than I am (one of whom has been rowing for at least 20 years). I didn't log it on my Garmin, but according to a very rough plot I just did, we rowed well over 12,000m.

    We did a ton of rate drills, I personally worked on handle height during the recovery. We also did a really chaotic pick drill which I think my coach though I would not hate (which is a fair assumption), but I thought it was really fun because it was so comical. I also learned that I can't actually control my oar very well with over a 22 (most of our dills involved four intervals from 18 to 26).

    My public service announcement for the week. If you're going to go out on a dock with your sweetheart(s) make a large heart out of 20+ glow sticks, and then scatter 10 roses worth of rose petals, at least clean the glow sticks up after you're done. It won't look cute the next morning when geese have pooped all over it (at first I thought it was redish-pink goose poop and was a bit worried), glow sticks are slippery, and no one likes a litterer (especially when the litter likely to enter the watershed very quickly).

    15 easy miles today. Legs have definitely got used to the higher mileage and pushing through the pain last week paid off this. Comfortable the whole way round, fastest 15miles, took 1min/mile off last week's pace and had more in me. 17 miles next week is still a little scary but I reckon I can more than manage.

    Run 5:00 walk 1:00 for 10 rounds or 1 hour and 5.41 miles. Had a muscle cramp so only ran about 2 minutes during the 10th run round. Ran at local park and it started to rain as I finished my run.

    I've been super-sick lately. Todays exercise (the first in well over a week) was a 2 mile walk. And it was glorious - but now I'm really tired (because I'm not quite over whatever devil's flu I had).

    I'm totally jealous of your run. I cannot wait to get back into the swing of things soon. Way to go!

    Lovely 7.5 miles this morning, perfect weather at 35F, no breeze & got to watch the sunrise. Also randomly ended up catching up to a guy running about 25m ahead of me, we got to chatting. I had forgotten how enjoyable a run can be with other folks! Time to get back running with my group again.

    A long distance walk through the park after it warms up a little, and strength training in the evening.

    My "speed interval" day today or Hell Mondays, whichever you like to name it. 12 times 90 seconds on as hard as I can go, 60 second active recovery on the Air Dyne Pro. I hate the onboard monitor for the AD Pro as it doesn't track the interval part separate from the rest part (like the Concept 2 rower does), so all you can gauge progress by is total calories burned or average MPH, average Watts. I did improve slightly over last week. Around 10 (I think) more calories burned (around 470 calories for the half hour total). 10 minute cool down after.

    Back is slowly healing. Feel like I could row easy now but I'm taking it easy as I have that cross country move in four weeks, so if I row before then, it will likely be really easy stuff. The back is more of a slightly uncomfortable afterthought now but I'm not risking injury before the move by brutal rowing sessions.

    Will also do around 200 pushups today (I do them around every hour as a planned work break, 20 at a time) and around 150 weighted squats (not heavy at all, around 40 lbs). Overhead presses are on hold. Don't need the added stress on my back, even though I normally used a fairly light weight for that.

    1.5 mile run down to the gym, mostly ran because it was raining but there was a recovery element.
    45 min PT mostly abs but a little bit of arm work plus some burpees
    Shoulders still working on getting back to my previous 1rpm pyramided up to 31kg so only 3kg off now.
    Quick 1.25 mile run on treadmill to ease the legs

    30min tabata very burpee heavy.
    50min barbell starting to reduce weight on leg tracks
    150 abs part of a challenge

    For anyone wondering, I built up to this level of activity over 3 years. It's what I enjoy doing, I eat to fuel my activity and get quality rest each week for a full 24 hour period.

    13 miles / 37:21 / 477 calories

    Not bad after a weekend of doing 23 and 20 hour fasts.
