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.
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.

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

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!
