Today is unfortunately a rest day, because I got MAYBE 30 minutes of sleep last night, I work from 6am-10pm, and I have to be awake at 4:30 tomorrow morning to do it all over again lol. I was planning on running, but with the amount of sleep that I got its not happening.2

I had planned for my birthday today to be my rest day in the 300 in 30 challenger I’ve set myself. I am going to take a break from the bike today. I think I’ll check the weather and head for the lake with some swimming trunks.
Feeling a bit old in my new older age.1 -

@Domonicdave don’t think your time is slow but this is coming from a 64-year young man who, like, you has jumped back on the running pony after a timeout. Privately cheering for you.

Happy birthday @CentaurusSoter and know that old is what other people are. For perspective, I’ve got lint in my belly button older than you so enjoy your youth. Keep marching forward in your fitness, health and wellness goals.1

Happy birthday! :drinker:

Monday
30min PT full body trx with slam ball intervals (love the way I've been put straight back on the 10kg slam ball)
3.1 mile hill run, got an undulating 10k on Sunday so wanted to get some hills in.
Squats- only my 2nd time in the squat rack this year so still very light. Pyramids starting from 30kg with 1kg increments. Topped out at 39kg which I took to 5reps.
Tabata - loving that i can now push in this class
Barbell - first time adding weight to the bar, not quite where i was before marathon training but quite close0 -
Just got done running a 5k. Training for a 10K now.1

Yesterday’s rest day is today’s fresh day. With day off, hit it hard today.
1 - Alternating pull-ups and chin-ups every 0:50 - 100 reps in 27:20 - training for 100 reps in 20:00.
#2 - Bar dips - 100 reps in 17:24 - training for 100 reps in 15:00.
#3 - Run 5:40 walk 0:20 for 10 rounds = 6.0 miles in 60 minutes - first time since resurrecting running that I covered 6 miles in 60 minutes. Ran during 21st hour of fasting period.
Today begins my training for a 6-mile fun run the end of July. Haven’t done one in about 10 years.
Doing the popular Wharf to Wharf in Santa Cruz. Ran it about half dozen times 20 years ago with my son when he was a high school track distance runner and I was a tag-along Dad trying to be half the runner he was. Will be a great run down memory lane.

A few hours rowing on the water this morning. Not a great row but such is life. I also decided that I'll probably be fine swimming twice a week. I did 1,600m in the pool today. I felt slow but my Garmin says otherwise. I mean I was slow in general, but fast for me. Also it was the first time I've swam since August so I wasn't expecting much.

About 2 hours rowing on the water today in an 8. Was a so-so row - nothing to write home about.
I've also decided, tentatively, add swimming as cross training twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays. I chose one of Speedo On's plans which is all of two weeks long with two sessions a week. Today's was 1,800 yards and I got to reacquaint myself with how my Garmin's swim workout function works when you have it walking you through a workout you created via Garmin Connect sent to the watch. Needless to say, it didn't record the first 300 yds of my workout
That said, while I felt a bit slow in the water, apparently I had a 100yd PB and was, in general, faster than I was the last time I swimming with any regularity which was last summer. I wasn't actually expecting much given how long it had been.
It looks like this week and next I'll end up with 8 workouts in a week, with two days being two-a-days. We'll see how sustainable this is. I think It will be ok in part because of how different rowing and swimming are, the days I'm choosing to do them on (less intense rowing days as of now), and because I am able to get breakfast and a lot of sitting in between the two. I'll reassess in a few weeks.
I'm also watching rowing (the FISA world cup in Bulgaria) right now and just thought to myself, "I hate it when drones fly above me!" and then remembered, "wait, there's no way I'd be able to notice if I was racing and there was a drone above me!" (there are drone shots).
Sometimes I wonder to myself if I'm an athlete as it's just not really a part of my identity anymore. Then I remember that I've been rowing on the water at least once a week for 9 months, erging to help increase my performance on the water, getting coaching three days a week, and now have decided to add in cross training. It appears I might just be an athlete (never mind all of the time I spent cycling...).2 -
60 minute Krav Maga class. Lots of drops to the ground and one accidental hit to the face, so I now have a killer headache.0

No effing joke.. Concussions are something a lot of use just take for granted.
Anywho, thanks for the well wishes! I went out and hiked my butt off while enjoying the day. Basically the same temps as yesterday, but instead of humidity at ~80%, it was around ~25% and that made it feel cooler. Perfect day to do 10.3km/6.4 miles. 2 for 2 on ticks-found-post-hike.. sadly. It's gonna be a tick heavy season for the.. well probably for every year going forward.
I'm glad I didn't kayak today. The wind was no joke and the current was really moving across the water. It was choppy af. So much so that in the hours I was there, I saw exactly 2 boats. Only 1 boat moving at speed, and that person was a bit of an idiot in that sort of chop.
Really fun birthday. Might bike later, or might enjoy a piece of cheesecake and call it a night sometime tomorrow. I haven't had a lot of good birthdays, certainly none in a decade, but this was a really good one. Hopefully a new trend going forward.
303 days since I started here, 113lbs down, 771 miles biked this year, 130 miles in the past 14 days, and an all around great day.3 -

Yeah, concussions are no joke and most people don't take them seriously enough. I'm lucky to have never gotten one and hope to keep it that way. I'm glad your birthday was good though. I also have a long history of less than good birthdays, but managed to have a good one this year for the first time in seemingly forever. Here's to a good year (and yes - I vote for cheesecake and calling it a night).1 -

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!

Oooh I am feeling both really good and really tired. Been hard at it, but also showing myself just how much more I can do. I'm debating a 5km walk/hike at the park locally today. Or I might mow the lawn. Who knows.
Good luck to everyone else on attaining their goals today!1 -
Yoga and handstand practice...1

BPP Week 5/3. 7k average split was a second faster than last Friday which is a bit absurd. I was fairly steady throughout the piece save for the 500m where I pushed the pace. Needless to say, I'm not going to be just fine if my split for the 7,500m piece on Friday is a second slower than today.2

Just an easy 5K run at lunch for this gal.
